CVSA’s New 2025 Out-of-Service Rules Go Into Effect April 1—Are You Ready?

If you’re an owner-operator or run a small fleet, these new CVSA regulations could sideline your truck and cost you thousands in downtime. The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has made major changes to out-of-service violations for drivers, brakes, tires, and suspensions. If you’re not prepared, your next DOT inspection could shut you down.

In this special edition episode, I break down:

• New driver rules (CLP trainers & medical cards)

• Brake system violations that now shut down your truck instantly

• Tire rule updates (leaks & automatic out-of-service violations)

• Suspension crackdowns that could cost you big

• How to stay compliant and avoid unnecessary downtime

Don’t risk getting parked. Watch now and get ahead of these changes before April 1.
