One in Three Trucks Failed: What the 2026 CVSA Blitz Number Means for CSA Scores and Insurance
The 2026 CVSA International Roadcheck and surrounding DOT Blitz Week resulted in a 32.8% out-of-service rate from 15,952 inspections, up sharply from the 2025 official rate of 18.1%. Brake, tire, and lighting violations drove most OOS orders. Every violation enters FMCSA's Safety Measurement System and affects carrier CSA scores on a 24-month sliding window, with newer violations weighted more heavily. Carriers face immediate impacts on their CSA scores and insurance renewals.
