Understanding DOT Inspections
What is a DOT Inspection?
A DOT inspection is a thorough check-up of commercial vehicles to ensure they meet the safety standards set by the Department of Transportation. These inspections are crucial for maintaining the safety of both the vehicle and the public. They are mandated at state and federal levels and can be conducted randomly or as scheduled annual check-ups.
Key Components of a DOT Inspection
During a DOT inspection, various components of your vehicle are examined. These include:
- Brakes: Ensuring they function correctly and have no leaks or wear that could impair their performance.
- Lights and Reflectors: Checking that all lights and reflectors are operational, adequately mounted, and not obscured.
- Steering Mechanism: Inspecting the steering wheel and mechanism for any faults that could impact vehicle control.
- Tires and Wheels: Assess the condition of tires for adequate tread depth and check wheels for cracks or defects.
- Fuel System: Examining for leaks or faults in the fuel system that could pose safety risks.
- Coupling Devices: Ensuring that coupling devices are secure and functional.
