DOT Annual Inspection

Our DOT Annual Inspection service is designed to help commercial motor carriers maintain compliance with federal periodic inspection requirements. Under 49 CFR §396.17, commercial motor vehicles and applicable segments of combination vehicles must receive a periodic inspection at least once every 12 months. Inspections are performed using the Minimum Periodic Inspection Standards in Appendix A to Part 396.

Our inspections cover the applicable vehicle components and safety systems required under the federal inspection standards. We provide inspections for both trucks and trailers, including air-brake, hydraulic-brake, and electric-brake configurations.

Stand-alone trailer inspection

Keep your trucks moving. We've got your trailer covered.

Don't tie up a working truck just for a trailer inspection. If a tractor or truck is not available, our mobile service allows us to perform applicable trailer inspection functions while the trailer remains uncoupled. Our mobile service trucks are equipped with trailer-testing equipment that allows us to perform applicable trailer inspection functions when a tractor is not available.

Convenient mobile DOT annual trailer inspections—without taking a working truck out of service.

Depending on the trailer and its equipment, this may include:

  • Portable lighting test equipment to verify trailer lighting and electrical functions
  • Portable air supply equipment to pressurize air-brake systems for applicable testing
  • Air-system leak checks on air-brake trailers
  • Brake system testing appropriate to the trailer's configuration
  • Breakaway system testing on applicable electric-brake trailers

An additional charge may apply when specialized trailer-testing equipment is required for a stand-alone trailer inspection.
