Fictional scenario: Your driver calls after a roadside inspection. The driver or truck is out of service, but the receiver closes soon.
The appointment does not override the order. FMCSA's newest enforcement announcement reported 78 drivers and 25 vehicles placed out of service during 552 inspections.
Your dispatcher role is to coordinate the carrier's freight, route, appointments, and driver communication. You cannot create legal time, operate the truck, override safety judgment, or tell someone to violate an out-of-service order. Escalate, document, and reset the plan.
What would you do next?
