✍🏽 Tips To Passing a DOT INSPECTION ✍🏽
Part 2
Wish I could have captured more of the inspection but this was not planned but decided to record what I could in the moment and ask questions. Every officer in inspection will be different.
Violations & OOS can be very detrimental to your operations. Example possibilities: Less brokers to work with, insurance increases or non renewal, random audits and more.
Here are a few more tips that could potentially help you pass your next inspection 👇🏽
✅ Verify & keep up with your paperwork
✅ Safety check first 50 miles & every 3hrs or 150 miles and document it.
✅ Do not over look your pre-trip
✅ Check fluids
✅ Check for leaks
✅ Check Tires & Pressure
✅ Check for broken welds on truck and trailer
✅ Check Leaf Springs
✅ Check Lights
✅ Test Braking Systems constantly
✅ Maintain securement items such as straps etc.
✅ Always make sure your loads are secure and follow the FMCSA standards
✅ Understand Your Equipment rating (GVWR)
✅ Don’t go over the weight you are allowed to scale
✅ Keep Logs Clean and know how to transfer
✅ Do not take advantage of Personal Conveyance
✅ Have all your in cab items such as Fire extinguisher (mounted), phone/iPad mount, DOT safety triangles (3), extra fuses, and a first aid kit (not a requirement)
