DOT inspections aren’t optional—they’re required by law and enforced through roadside stops and fleet audits. Our truck DOT inspections ensure you meet every federal standard before you're on the radar.

We perform both annual DOT inspections and pre-trip/daily inspection support, checking every required system and component, including:

  • Brakes, lights, and steering
  • Suspension and frame condition
  • Exhaust, fuel, and driveline systems
  • Windshield wipers, horn, and mirrors
  • Tires, wheels, and undercarriage
  • Safety equipment (triangles, fire extinguisher, seatbelt)

We log all findings, explain what passes or fails, and fix any violations in-house—so you leave compliant, safe, and confident.
