What Are DOT & BIT Inspections?

A DOT inspection is the periodic inspection federal rules require of commercial motor vehicles, at least once a year. It checks the systems that keep a truck safe: brakes, lights, tires, steering, suspension, coupling devices and more.

A BIT inspection is part of California's Biennial Inspection of Terminals program, in which the CHP inspects a carrier's terminal, vehicles and maintenance records. Passing it depends on trucks that are kept up and records that show it.

Why Inspections Matter in Cherry Valley, CA

A failed inspection can take a truck out of service and put a carrier's rating at risk. Regular, thorough inspections catch problems while they are still repairs, not violations.
