What Does a DOT Inspection Cover? 

Safety Equipment

The first major focus of a DOT inspection is to ensure your truck has all the right safety equipment. Although many people believe this category simply includes your airbags and seatbelts, it actually includes far more. Anything responsible for protecting others on the road is also included in the safety inspection. Examples being your brake systems, your suspension, and even your lights. Heavy-duty trucks can cause catastrophic damage when not functioning properly. By staying DOT compliant, you’re ensuring you and everyone on the road with you is safe. 

Safety Gear

Alongside your various safety equipment is the safety gear each truck must have in order to pass the DOT inspection. This gear includes a portable fire extinguisher, reflective pylons or road triangles, replacement fuses, wheel chocks, first aid equipment, and other related items. Without this essential safety gear, you may end up failing the DOT inspection. This gear is generally quite affordable and easy to obtain and, as such, should never be forgotten.
