DOT Safety Inspections
On-Site DOT Inspections specializes in performing Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) safety inspections required for trucks and trailers. Since all we do are DOT truck and trailer inspections, we provide a cost effective alternative to  repair shops and mobile repair services. This may also reduce unnecessary down time.

Required vehicles
All interstate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) or combination vehicles with a GVWR in excess of 10,001 GVW and all intrastate vehicles or combination vehicles with a GVWR in excess of 26,001 GVW (in Florida, other states may vary) are required to have a periodic / annual DOT safety inspection. For combination units the power unit, dolly and trailer / semi-trailer are required to be inspected.  

All commercial motor vehicles listed above ncluding but not limited to car hauling equipment (pick up trucks with car trailer) and dump trucks above are subject to the same FMCSR's and require periodic / annual safety inspections.

Intermodal Equipment (Chassis) Inspections
New regulations from the FMCSA effective on June 17, 2009, make intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR). A USDOT Number is now required, as well as an Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (IRM) program.

FMCSA Tightens New Entrant Safety Rules
New entrants will have to survive a more rigorous test of their safety fitness under new rules issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The regulations, to be published in the Dec. 16 Federal Register, identify 16 violations that FMCSA deems to be essential elements of basic safety management controls necessary to operate in interstate commerce. Failure to comply with any one of those 16 regulations results in an automatic failure of the new entrant safety audit, which is supposed to occur within the first 18 months of a new entrant’s operation.

Among the 16 “sudden death” violations, 14 would lead to failure of an audit based on a single occurrence. Two regulations -- failing to require a driver to make a record of duty status, and using a commercial motor vehicle not periodically inspected -- require a threshold of 51 percent or more of examined records to trigger automatic failure.
