In the CVSA Out Of Service Criteria (link, pg. 33-34 *opens to pdf file):

"The tiedown contains cut(s), burn(s), and/or hole(s) through the webbing which total more than that shown in the Defect Classification Table.

4" (100mm) strap = 3/4" (19mm)

All cut(s), burn(s), and/or hole(s) through the webbing are additive across the width of the strap face for its entire effective length. But only one defect is additive for any specific width."

According to the diagram table, cuts along the same edge of the strap are not added together, but cuts on the one edge, in the middle and the opposing edge are. So as long as each cut is less than 3/4" along one edge of the strap, you're good, but as soon as they are in more than one place across the face, they all add up together.

I don't like guessing with this stuff (especially now that I'm my company's official driver trainer), I always go to the source.

Now here's my important question:

Does the CVSA have any legal authority to create oos criteria or is that more of a semi official suggested guidance for officers to follow?

Wouldn't know. This is the official criteria the DOT/MOT follow when doing inspections. I would assume it's authorized legally.

I think it was more of studies conducted by that one program that also does the sleep studies the gooberment went off of that was never printed on paper for the gooberment to follow. It was all hearsay.
