Most out-of-service violations come down to a handful of trailer items. Here is what inspectors look at.

Burned-out marker, brake or tail lights are one of the most common violations - and one of the easiest to fix. Walk the trailer and check every lamp before you roll.
Out-of-adjustment slack adjusters, worn linings, and air leaks at glad hands or chambers will all flag. A dragging or weak brake is both a violation and a safety risk.
Watch for low tread, sidewall damage, and loose or missing lug nuts. A flat or under-inflated tire on a tandem can sneak up on you.
Inspectors check the fifth wheel, kingpin and landing gear for play and damage. A worn fifth wheel is a serious find.
An out-of-service order parks your truck and your income. A quick mobile inspection-and-repair before your next DOT stop is cheap insurance.
