what should i do after placed oos

When you get this order, it is a stop operation order and it is in writing.

a truck is put out of service because of a safety issue,

if you got a out of service order, it legally has to be in written form, the officer has to explain what, why and how it is corrected.

if your authority is suspended that means you can travel but you can’t legally take any work.

Edit - the suspension has a travel limit, if you do not have insurance, the truck can’t move,

 

As someone (who is an authority holder) you summed up this issue MUCH better than I did!

 

They were probably allowed to drive because the trailer was empty.

I was on a load with KLB one time and got pulled over by Ohio SP. Breeden had forgotten to make the call to keep their authority active (must be done every two years) so I was placed OOS. Cop was real nice about it and waited around while the call was made and authority reinstated.

 

You don't do anything. The company has to make a phone call. It's like a newspaper subscription... the authority is good for X amount of time and then it has to be renewed.

 

I would say he was saying you can't/shouldn't haul anything for the company that was put out if service due to their authority being cancelled. I would phone them to see if the trucking company has fixed the issue. If not. Give them proof of your resignation or paperwork showing you are leased to a new company. If you have your own plates and bobtail ins they can only stop you from using their authority to haul loads not use you own truck to bobtail home or take your own empty trailer home if you own the trailer also.

 

You’re just gonna have to sit and cool your heels until the authority holder gets their heads out of their butts and gets this issue resolved. For your purposes 00S and suspended means the same, and that simple meaning Is stay off the road until you’re told it’s OK to do so! That is tough words I understand, but right now based upon your words in this thread you’re stuck! But I highly advise you once this gets resolved you might want to change who you drive for.
