What Do Federal DOT Inspections Cover?
FMCSA inspections, better known as Federal DOT inspections, are comprehensive reviews of a commercial vehicle, its driver, and accompanying documentation to ensure compliance with regulations and laws set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The primary goal of DOT inspections is to ensure the safety of the driver and other road users.
Inspections are divided into six categories: credentials, brakes, lights, cargo, tires, and vehicle parts like steering, suspension, and other critical systems. When an FMCSA agent is sent to conduct a federal DOT inspection, not only do they check in and around the truck to check off all the boxes, but they also look at the driver's documentation, including licenses, hours-of-service logs, and drug and alcohol testing records. Inspections can take place at any time and can occur on the road or at a dedicated inspection station.
A passing score is required for the driver to operate the commercial vehicle. Trucks that fail an inspection can either be fined or placed out of service, meaning they are not permitted to operate until the necessary repairs are made.
Pennsylvania State Inspections
PennDOT, or the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, is the agency responsible for transportation infrastructure and regulations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Like all state DOT inspections, PennDOT inspections are a legal requirement designed to ensure the safe operation of commercial vehicles on the state's roadways. During the inspection, trained technicians thoroughly check the vehicle's brakes, suspension, steering, tires, and lighting system to ensure they meet the state's safety standards. Additionally, like FMCSA inspections, they look at the driver's credentials and the vehicle's documentation, including the logbook and insurance paperwork.
A vehicle that passes a Pennsylvania state inspection will be given a sticker to display, indicating that it has passed the inspection and is safe to operate on Pennsylvania’s roads. It is important to note that vehicle safety inspections are only carried out at official PennDOT inspection stations—if you’re in or around Myerstown, you’re in luck. Diamond Fleet Service is an official PennDOT inspection station.
