Why DOT Inspections are Crucial
The Department of Transportation mandates that all commercial vehicles and trailers weighing over 10,000 pounds undergo an annual inspection. This requirement is in place to ensure these vehicles are in good working order, meeting safety standards, and are safe to be on the road. Failure to pass a state DOT vehicle inspection can lead to fines, audits, or even the suspension of your vehicle, not to mention the potential cost of repairs.
