Roadside inspections: interstate movers based in Oklahoma
16 of the 43 interstate movers listed here had at least one roadside inspection in the 24 months to September 13, 2026, 40 inspections in all. Inspectors put the vehicle out of service in 4 of 24 vehicle inspections (16.7%), below the 19.0% for listed movers nationally. Drivers were put out of service in 5 of 40 driver inspections (12.5%, against 13.0%). With fewer than 30 vehicle inspections, a single out-of-service order moves that rate by several points, so treat it as a small sample. None has an acute or critical violation from an FMCSA investigation in the past 12 months.
