Hi,
What are things on the tractor, or the trailer that would put it out of service? And what things are just more of a hindrance, but you should still get them fixed asap? When performing my pre trip inspections I’d like to know if what I find wrong is something big, or not a huge deal as long as I get it fixed.
Best regards, John

It's a pdf but it's the current oos handbook.

CVSA has app you can buy that list their OOS violation. It's not state specific but CVSA is basically the stand they all use from my understanding. They changed the app or the app is free to download but then you have to pay each year for the newest updates it's $24. I was looking at my app and it say I have to pay $24. So maybe when you but it comes with 1 year of info or the year you buy it I always free
It the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. It on Android maybe iPhone also.

I want to make a different take on the OPs question. I want to shy away from OOS as that implies being inspected. To go more to the pre-trip inspection after picking up a trailer. To be honest it falls into several important groups. LEGALS, LIGHTS, BRAKES, TIRES, SUSPENSION, and AIRLINES!
When I was active after backing under I got out and hooked up my pigtail and airlines. Then shut off my engine after flooding the supply air into the trailer. I would then walk around the trailer looking at the tires/wheels and lights while listening for leaks. I would check the legals to make sure I had a tag and all the paperwork. It's tough to check brake travel by yourself. Honestly, though I have helped other drivers do that.G13Tomcat and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -

I usually did a really good post trip at the end of my driving day so I could get anything wrong taken care of right then. Then my pre-trip would be to check the lights, tires and make sure I had no fluid or air leaks.REO6205, farmerjohn64 and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
