level 1 out of service yet not out of service

so i got stopped for a level 1 today i was on my way home for the weekend empty. had a couple violations not really contesting that they didn't exist but one of them they marked as oos on the inspection report, i asked the officer about it, asking so am i out of service then, as he did not mention anything to me about being out of service. and he said well no your not out of service you just need to get it fixed before you take your next load.

im not sure if when this comes up on my company record if i should dataq it and argue that i was not out of service or if i should just be happy that he didn't make me fix it before leaving. there was no oos sticker issued and i was not placed out of service but the inspection report shows a oos




here is the oos violation they wrote up. i knew about this prior have one on the shelf for it just have not gotten to it yet, it doesn't leak or anything just has a rust hole in the return spring side. type 30 service brake only chamber.


the other volations im not as concerned about as there not oos

but ill include some pictures anyway

tire is still legal tread depth fully inflated but its starting to chunk out already have 4 new drive tires for it but was trying to wait till i was done hauling off road in probably a couple more weeks to change them


my fully charged fire extinguisher was not in its bracket, my bad i know better.

the other 2 are pretty self explanatory.

abs light fails to illuminate on self check

and 1 marker light on the trailer out,
tapped on the light and it came back on after the dot inspection was finished go figure. probably a corroded wire, ill have to take care of.

As for the oos. I’m as lost as you. I’d say chuck it as a goof and move on. The violation it what it is. I don’t believe being oos makes it carry any more weight.[/QUOTE]

my concern is that it will show up in the % of oos inspections on my company when i wasn't placed out of service, and as also mentioned 1 break can that's defective but still functional is not 20% of my brakes esp on a 7 axle rig.

 

i don't know first time iv ever had a oos marked on a inspection report they have gotten me on a couple other non oos things before but never had a oos violation.

most of you guys know i take pretty good care of my truck was kinda bad timing to get an inspection right on the tail end of dirt work season on my way home at the end of the week. but i wont make excuses.
