What Does A DOT Inspection Involve?
Safety-Related Checks
A DOT inspection may seem daunting, but the key to passing with flying colors is ensuring that all of your safety equipment is in optimal condition. From your exhaust system to your navigation lights, every component plays a crucial role in keeping you and other vehicles secure on busy roads and highways. Neglecting even one aspect, such as worn tires or malfunctioning brakes, can translate into a failed inspection. Don't let a small oversight put your safety at risk - make sure to thoroughly check all of your equipment before hitting the road.
Cargo Components
Our DOT inspectors meticulously examine all makes and models of heavy-duty trucks that haul heavy cargo day in and day out. They cover everything from the coupling system to the fastening devices, ensuring that your cargo is secure and won't present any threat to you or other drivers. Think of it as a thorough check-up for your truck, to keep everyone safe on the road. However, you risk failing the inspection if any components of the coupling system are missing or malfunctioning, and if there are issues with the fastening devices.
