Annual DOT Inspections Done Right

Our shop is fully qualified to perform Annual DOT inspections—the most comprehensive roadside and annual inspection level required for commercial vehicles. We inspect both the tractor and trailer to ensure full compliance with FMCSA safety regulations.

What’s included in a Annual DOT or BIT Inspection:

  • Brake System

  • Tires, Wheels & Rims

  • Suspension Components

  • Steering Mechanism

  • Lighting Devices & Reflectors

  • Windshield Wipers & Glass

  • Exhaust System

  • Frame & Chassis

  • Coupling Devices & Trailer Connection

  • Fuel System

  • Emergency Equipment (Flares, Fire Extinguisher, Triangles)

  • Driver’s Documentation & Credentials


⚠️ DOT Compliance Isn’t Optional—It’s Required

DOT inspections are mandatory for all commercial motor vehicles over 10,000 lbs. operating in interstate commerce. Missing your annual inspection or operating with faulty equipment can result in:

  • Fines and citations

  • Vehicle out-of-service orders

  • Delays and unplanned downtime

  • Increased liability in case of an accident

STTR ensures your equipment is ready to pass, and we can perform repairs on-site for any issues identified during inspection.
