List · Dump truck inspections · For release November 2026

Just passing through? Not so fast.

The counties where a roadside inspection of a dump truck most often ends out of service.

An out-of-service order (OOS) ends the trip on the spot. Nationally, 23.0% of dump truck roadside inspections end with a driver or vehicle OOS.

In these 15 counties it's 45% or more. Of 2,903 roadside inspections there, 1,459 ended out of service.

Thirteen of the 15 are in Texas. Six are in the Permian Basin: Reeves, Midland, Loving, Ward, Ector and Martin.

Middlesex County, NJ leads at 57.7%. The only other county outside Texas is Salt Lake County, UT, at 46.9%.

Martin County, TX makes both of our county lists: 1,891 roadside inspections per 100 local dump trucks, and 46.2% of them end out of service.

Before a hauler takes work through these counties, look at its out-of-service record.
