Maryland State DOT Inspections

The Department of Transportation (DOT) takes a serious approach to commercial truck safety.

When you look at statistics, it makes sense. In 2015 alone, 11% of motor vehicle crash deaths were attributed to large commercial trucks. In an effort to reduce the number of motor vehicle crash deaths related to commercial trucks, the DOT requires all trucks to undergo a DOT inspection yearly. The DOT inspection consists of six levels of inspection to help maintain these vehicles and spot potential problems.

Maryland State DOT Inspections are a vital part of keeping our roads safe. DOT inspectors conduct commercial truck inspections to ensure that the trucks and trailers you’re driving are in good condition and meet the standards set by the state. This is important not only for your safety, but also for the safety of other drivers on the road. If your truck or trailer is found to be in violation of state regulations, you could face serious penalties, so it’s important to make sure your truck is up to code – call us today to schedule an appointment.
