Ready to Schedule Service?
DOT inspections or your federal annual inspections are required every year. We can handle all your DOT inspections on both trucks and trailers. We will inspect your trucks and give you estimates for anything we find out of compliance. And then we’ll get your repairs done faster than any other local shop.
DOT Inspections Available
Most commercial vehicles (including trucks, buses, trailers, semi trailers and tow or converter dollies), which use public highways to transport passengers or goods are required to have an annual commercial vehicle safety inspection when:
- The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the vehicle or Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of the vehicle exceeds 10,000 pounds; or
- The vehicle is designed to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver; or
- The vehicle is used in the transportation of hazardous materials which require placarding.
In general, passing your truck inspection has a lot to do with keeping your truck in good condition. It may seem obvious, but as long as everything is safe and operational, you are probably in good shape. Periodically, check the seat belts, brake systems, coupling devices, exhaust systems, frames, fuel systems, lighting devices, steering mechanisms, suspension, tires, wheels, rims and hubs, windshield wipers, emergency exits, electrical cables, etc.
