Mobile DOT Inspections
On-Site DOT Inspections — Stay Compliant Without Leaving the Yard
Annual, pre-trip, and roadside-ready inspections performed at your location by certified inspectors.
DOT compliance isn’t optional, and failing an inspection can mean out-of-service orders, fines, and delayed deliveries. Our mobile DOT inspection service brings certified inspectors directly to your facility or fleet yard to perform thorough, documented inspections that meet every FMCSA requirement. No driving trucks to a separate inspection station.
We handle all inspection levels — from full annual inspections complete with brake stroke measurements and decal placement to pre-trip evaluations that catch issues before your drivers hit the road. Every inspection is recorded digitally with photos, measurements, and a detailed condition report.
Inspection-Ready Compliance Without the Logistics Headache
Certified inspectors. Digital documentation. Convenient on-site scheduling.
Coordinating DOT inspections across a fleet usually means pulling vehicles out of rotation, routing them to a third-party inspection facility, and waiting for an available appointment slot. Our mobile service eliminates every one of those hurdles. We come to your yard on your schedule, inspect your trucks and trailers where they’re parked, and provide immediate pass-fail results along with detailed documentation for your compliance files. We cover the full scope of the FMCSA Annual Inspection — brakes, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, coupling, lighting, exhaust, fuel systems, cargo securement, and emergency equipment. Each passing vehicle receives a valid inspection decal before our truck leaves your yard.

How It Works
1
chedule Your Inspection
Contact us with your fleet size, vehicle types, and preferred date window. We allocate an inspector and confirm a time block that allows adequate time per vehicle without rushing. Same-week scheduling is typically available.

On-Site Diagnosis
Every vehicle is inspected against the FMCSA Annual Inspection criteria. Brakes are measured, lights are cycled, tires are gauged, suspension components are manipulated, and all critical systems are verified. Findings are recorded in real time on the inspection form.

Results, Decals & Digital Records
Passing vehicles receive their inspection decal immediately. A full digital inspection report for each vehicle — including photos of any notable findings — is delivered to your fleet manager. Failed items are clearly documented with repair recommendations for corrective action.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile DOT Inspections Help Center
Common questions about our mobile DOT inspection services. Call us if you need clarification on a specific requirement.
All commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds, vehicles designed to transport more than 8 passengers for compensation, and vehicles transporting hazardous materials requiring placarding. Intrastate requirements vary by state.
A full annual inspection typically takes 30–45 minutes per tractor-trailer combination, depending on vehicle condition and accessibility. Pre-trip inspections are faster at 15–20 minutes per unit. We schedule accordingly to avoid holding your equipment out of service longer than necessary.
If a vehicle fails, we document each violation with photos and measurement data, indicate whether it carries an out-of-service classification, and provide a written repair recommendation. The vehicle cannot legally operate until the violations are corrected. We can often perform the necessary repairs on-site if you choose.
Yes. Trailers are inspected independently from the power unit. We conduct a full Annual Trailer Inspection covering all trailer-specific systems — lighting, brakes, suspension, coupling, tires, wheels, landing gear, body condition, and cargo securement hardware.
Yes. Every vehicle that passes receives a dated annual inspection decal applied to the door jamb or frame rail as required by regulations. The decal includes the inspection month and year, the inspector identification number, and the issuing facility name.
