DOT & Safety Inspections

Stay compliant and avoid roadside surprises.

We perform Level I–style DOT inspections in-house so you know the status of your truck before enforcement does. From brakes and lights to documentation, our team identifies violations, prioritizes repairs, and keeps you on the right side of roadside blitzes, CSA scoring, and customer audits.
