Roadcheck Day 2 Nearly Tripled Day 1 Volume. The Violation Data Shows Where Trucks Are Failing.

The Day 2 Numbers Through two days of the 2026 International Roadcheck, FMCSA inspection records show 6,406 total inspections conducted, 11,010 violations logged, 2,055 out-of-service orders issued, and 5,217 distinct carriers inspected. Data via searchcarriers.

Isolating Day 2 from the cumulative totals: Tuesday’s enforcement added approximately 4,826 inspections, 8,373 violations, and 1,559 OOS orders to the running count. That puts Day 2’s OOS rate at approximately 32. 3% — slightly higher than Day 1’s 31.

4% — and the daily violations-per-inspection rate at approximately 1. 73. The daily inspection chart shows Tuesday volume came in slightly above Monday, with roughly 3,350 inspections on Day 2 compared to approximately 3,050 on Day 1.

The scale of Day 2 enforcement matters for a specific reason: the 2025 full-event vehicle OOS rate across all 56,178 inspections was 18. 1%. Two days into 2026, the OOS rate is running nearly double that benchmark. That gap cannot be explained by enforcement concentration alone. It reflects the condition of trucks on the road.

Pennsylvania Is Running the Event The state-level data through two days tells a story that every operator running the Northeast corridor needs to understand. Pennsylvania led all states in Day 1 inspections with 217.

Through Day 2, Pennsylvania’s cumulative inspection count stands at 1,156 — meaning the state ran approximately 939 inspections on Tuesday alone, nearly 20% of the entire national Day 2 volume. No other state is close. Oklahoma is second at 533 cumulative. Kentucky is third at 399. New Jersey is fourth at 359. Alabama is fifth at 327.

The full top ten through two days: PA (1,156), OK (533), KY (399), NJ (359), AL (327), MI (294), NM (184), NE (179), SD (178), LA (174). Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, and Kentucky together account for 2,088 of the 6,406 cumulative inspections — 32. 6% of all inspections in three states.

The geographic concentration of enforcement in the Northeast and through the mid-South is not random. These are high-volume freight corridors, and enforcement personnel are deployed where freight moves. If your loads are running I-78, I-76, I-81, or I-40 through Oklahoma, the inspection probability on Day 3 is at least as high as it was on Day 2.

New Jersey and Pennsylvania also dominate the worst individual inspection lists across both days, which is a separate signal from volume. High inspection counts in a state produce high violation counts by volume.

But NJ and PA are generating the highest per-inspection violation totals as well, which suggests the inspection intensity in those corridors is finding more violations per truck, not just more trucks.

The Worst Individual Inspections From Day 2 The cumulative worst inspections list through two days shows how significantly Day 2 raised the severity bar on the vehicle side. The single worst inspection by total violations remains the Day 1 NJ inspection SPEPI02245, which logged 30 total violations including 28 vehicle violations.

But Day 2 added four new entries to the top five. Pennsylvania inspection C208613208 from May 12 came in second with 27 total violations. Kansas inspection PD83971978 logged 26. New Jersey’s SPSHI00417 and Pennsylvania’s E953613227 each logged 24. The worst OOS list has shifted more significantly.

New Jersey’s SPPSI04143 from May 12 logged 9 OOS conditions out of 14 total violations — a 64% OOS rate within a single inspection. Wyoming’s PTLP000665 from Day 1 holds second with 9 OOS from 20 violations. Texas inspection V262347853 from Day 1 and New Jersey’s SPSSI01091 from Day 1 each produced 8 OOS.

Pennsylvania’s C208613208 from Day 2 also logged 8 OOS out of its 27 total violations. The driver violation totals from Day 2 are the most significant numbers in the dataset. Alabama inspection 1440004561 from May 12 logged 17 driver violations out of 18 total — the highest single-inspection driver violation count across both days by a wide margin.

Pennsylvania’s E953613226 logged 16 driver violations out of 23 total. Those numbers are not the product of one missed annotation or an expired document.

An inspection that produces 16 or 17 driver violations found comprehensive driver compliance failure: credential problems, HOS violations, ELD documentation failures, and regulatory violations stacked within a single cab.

Which Carriers Are Generating the Most Inspection Activity The most inspected carriers through two days reflect the scale of large national fleets moving freight through high-inspection-density corridors. United Parcel Service Inc (DOT #21800) leads all carriers with 29 inspections, 11 violations, and a 3% OOS rate.

New Prime Inc (DOT #3706) has 27 inspections, 22 violations, and a 7% OOS rate. Federal Express Corporation (DOT #86876) has logged 23 inspections, 31 violations, and a 9% OOS rate. Central Transport LLC (DOT #661173) is at 22 inspections
