DOT Inspection in Houston, TX

What is a DOT Inspection?

A DOT inspection is a mandatory evaluation process required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to ensure that all parts and accessories related to the safety of commercial motor vehicles are in proper working order. These inspections are critical for maintaining the safety of the vehicle operator and the general public on our roadways.

Components of a DOT Inspection

During a DOT inspection at Fleetworks of Texas, our certified technicians meticulously examine several key components of your diesel-powered trucks and fleet vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Braking System: We assess the performance and condition of the brakes, including the inspection of pads, drums, rotors, and emergency braking systems, ensuring they function correctly and safely.
• Steering Mechanism: The steering system is checked for reliability and safety, ensuring no excessive play or malfunctioning components that could impair vehicle control.
• Lights and Reflectors: Proper functionality and visibility of all lighting and reflective devices are verified to ensure your vehicle is visible and compliant under all driving conditions.
• Tires, Wheels, and Rims: We inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation. Wheels and rims are examined for cracks, bends, and other potential safety hazards.
• Fuel System: The fuel system is inspected for leaks and proper operation, ensuring there are no risks of fire or environmental hazards.
• Exhaust System: We examine the exhaust system to ensure it is securely mounted and not leaking, which could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide entering the vehicle cabin.
