About Our DOT Inspection Services

What to Expect

When you book a DOT Inspection appointment with us we review the driver’s license, ownership, and other pertinent documentation. The full inspection covers various components and systems of your truck and trailer.  If you pass the inspection, we provide all the supporting paperwork and certifications. If the inspection is not passed you’ll receive a report covering what needs to be repaired, and we can schedule any necessary repairs and parts replacement services at that time. 

What do DOT Inspections Involve? 

At PNS Truck Repair, we start all DOT inspections with a thorough check of your vehicle to ensure that it meets all Federal regulations and standards. This is done in order to confirm that your vehicle is safe to transport goods across North American roads. Our technicians go through a detailed checklist which includes:

  • Verification of documentation to guarantee driver and load compliance with applicable regulations.
  • An examination of various components of the vehicle such as brakes, tires, and other essential systems to confirm that they are in good working order and up to code. 
  • A review of safety elements of the vehicles such as mirrors, lights and operating signals to make sure they are functioning and reliable.  

During a DOT inspection, our technicians will also check for any visible signs of mechanical problems or external truck body damage that could affect the safety of your vehicle. If any issues are found, we will work with you to identify a solution and help you get your vehicle back in proper operating condition.
