Out-Of-Service Criteria Workshop Apr 14

The 2026 Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Out-of-Service (OOS) Criteria Handbook is used by enforcement officers across North America to determine when a commercial vehicle should be taken out of service. The 2026 OOS Criteria will be effective throughout North America on April 1, 2026. Although the handbook is a “must-have” resource for truck and bus safety managers, fleet directors, drivers, and shop professionals, this workshop provides an opportunity to learn the criteria directly from the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE).

The half-day workshop, conducted by a CVSE enforcement officer, will provide attendees with the knowledge and resources to detect commercial vehicle safety issues and violations before their vehicles become operational. In turn, this reduces expensive shipping delays, repair and towing costs and negative safety reports for the company. Topics to be discussed include changes in OOS criteria from 2025 to 2026, common roadside violations (with pictorials), and a walk-through of the Level 1 procedure, which defines how components are checked in relation to criteria. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the workshop.

Course outline includes:
-Commercial Vehicle Safety & Enforcement
-Who and what is the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance
-Level I Inspection
-Out of Service Criteria
-Roadside Violations
-Q&A

Each attendee will receive a copy of the 2026 North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria Handbook.

*Please note that lunch is not included.
