Behind on FHWA Inspections?
FHWA inspections save fleets and owner-operators the expense of roadside repairs, towing, down time, and fines. The necessary inspection paperwork is essential to a trouble-free trip, and is quickly and easily obtained from your local Ainsworth Trailer Repair facility.
Annual Inspections Make Good Sense – And They are Required
Critical to the safety of fellow roadside passengers, your drivers, and equipment – not to mention your business’ reputation, annual inspections are required by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Commercial vehicles may only operate on the roadways after completing and passing a vehicle inspection at least once every 12 months. Deficiencies found in the vehicle and deemed necessary for repair must be addressed before they can lead to costly and inconvenient mechanical breakdowns, or result in accidents. Failure to comply could result in fines and infractions, and ultimately lead to your vehicle being placed out of service.
