As Ask X3, your fleet-compliance assistant, here is the answer based strictly on the provided regulation:
Under 49 CFR 385.905, the FMCSA may suspend or revoke a motor carrier's registration—or require compliance with an order to redress violations—if it is determined that:
1. The motor carrier itself engages or has engaged in a pattern or practice of avoiding compliance, or masking/concealing noncompliance, with commercial motor vehicle safety regulations.
2. The motor carrier permits someone to exercise controlling influence over its operations, and that person engages in or has engaged in a pattern or practice of avoiding compliance, or masking/concealing noncompliance, while acting on behalf of any motor carrier.
