DOT Inspection & Compliance
DOT Inspections and Compliance, Handled at Your Yard
Find Violations Before an Inspector Does
One out-of-service violation can sideline a truck, strand a load and follow your safety record for years. We bring DOT inspections, defect repairs and organized records to your yard, so your fleet is ready whenever an inspector or auditor shows up.
What We Do
DOT Inspection Services for Commercial Fleets
DOT Annual Inspection & Certification
Annual DOT inspections and certification for tractors and trailers, completed on-site.
Pre-DOT Inspection Audits
A full check before inspection day to find and fix out-of-service defects while the truck is still in your yard.
Defect Repair On-Site
Defects found during an inspection or audit repaired on the same visit, once you approve the work.
60-Point DOT Physical Inspection
A 60-point DOT physical with brake stroke check and adjustment audit, included with every PM-A.
FMCSA / DOT BIT Inspection Management
Inspection schedules tracked for every unit, with invoicing synced to your fleet portal and accounting software.
Monthly 50-Point Yard Safety Audits
Recurring yard audits included in every maintenance program, with every finding documented.
DVIR Reporting
Digital driver vehicle inspection reports for each audited unit, stored and ready for review.
Audit-Ready Digital Records
Fullbay inspections with photos and video, plus maintenance histories, DOT files and invoices synced to QuickBooks Online.
Why It Matters
One Annual Inspection Isn’t a Compliance Program
An annual sticker shows how a truck looked on one day. Real DOT compliance means catching defects every month and keeping records organized, so an audit is a file pull instead of a scramble.
Annual Inspection: Annual inspection and certification for every tractor and trailer.
Monthly Yard Audits: 50-point audits that catch brake, lighting, tire and air system defects between inspections.
Every PM-A: A full 60-point DOT physical on every routine PM.
Audit-Ready Records: DOT files and maintenance histories in your Fullbay fleet portal, synced with QuickBooks Online.
DOT Compliance FAQ
DOT Inspection Questions
Do you perform DOT annual inspections at our yard?
Yes. We complete annual DOT inspections and certification on-site for tractors and trailers, at your terminal or staging yard.
What’s the difference between a pre-DOT audit and an annual inspection?
The annual inspection is the federally required check that certifies a unit for another year. A pre-DOT audit is a check we run beforehand to find and fix defects, so the unit passes the first time.
How do monthly yard audits help with compliance?
Defects don’t wait for the annual inspection. Monthly 50-point yard audits catch brake, lighting, tire and air system problems as they develop, before a roadside inspection turns them into an out-of-service order.
Can you fix the defects you find?
Yes. Defects are documented with photos and video in your Fleet Portal, and once approved, they can be repaired on the same visit. Retainer accounts have pre-authorized repair limits set at enrollment. Tier 2 and Tier 3 programs also cover routine wear-and-tear labor, with parts billed separately.
What records will we have if we’re audited?
Every inspection, repair and DVIR is stored in your Fullbay fleet portal with photos and video. Maintenance histories, DOT files and invoices sync with QuickBooks Online, so records are ready when an auditor asks.
