Understanding DOT Inspections for Your Fleet

What exactly is a DOT Inspection? It's a detailed examination conducted by certified inspectors designed to confirm the safety and roadworthiness of commercial vehicles. These inspections encompass various critical aspects, such as the braking system, steering, suspension, lighting, and tires, and also include an assessment of the vehicle's overall condition to spot any wear or damage.

The Importance of Regular DOT Inspections

Why prioritize DOT inspections? They are crucial for the safety of commercial vehicles on public roads. These inspections help pinpoint potential issues that could cause accidents or breakdowns, ensuring your vehicles comply with federal safety regulations.
