The trick to dealing efficiently for roadside repairs, even ones resulting from roadside inspections, is to plan ahead for them, says TA’s resident maintenance expert.
No one wants their tractor-trailer put out-of-service (OOS) for a vehicle violation following a roadside inspection. But as a paraphrase of the great poet Robert Burns illustrates, “even the best-laid plans of mice and men go awry,” and for that reason you need a plan already in place to figure out how to correct an OOS vehicle violation in order to get your rig back on the road.
