DOT Trailer Inspection
Keep your trailers ready for service with on-site federal DOT inspections. We help fleets and owner-operators identify safety deficiencies and stay current with annual trailer inspection requirements.
Pennsylvania Mobile Federal DOT Trailer Inspections
We provide mobile federal DOT trailer inspections at your location. Scheduling before your inspection expires gives you time to address deficiencies without disrupting dispatch. An annual inspection also helps identify worn or damaged components that need attention.
What Does a Federal DOT Trailer Inspection Include?
We examine applicable safety components for wear, damage, secure mounting, and proper operation. The inspection follows federal standards for your trailer’s configuration.
- Brake systems: Brake operation, chambers, hoses, tubing, slack adjusters, and applicable ABS components.
- Tires and wheels: Tire condition, wheels, rims, and wheel fasteners.
- Lighting: Required lamps and reflectors.
- Suspension: Leaf springs or air suspension components, axle attachments, and related hardware.
- Frame and coupling: Frame members, trailer coupling components, and sliding axle locking mechanisms.
- Rear impact guard: Condition, attachment, and applicable dimensional requirements.
Address Trailer Defects Before They Delay Dispatch
Visible damage and changes in trailer performance deserve attention before the annual inspection. Waiting until the due date can leave little time to correct problems.
Watch for:
- Audible air leaks
- Damaged tires or exposed cords
- Inoperative trailer lights
- Loose wheel fasteners
- Broken leaf springs
- Cracked frame members
- Damaged rear impact guards
A trailer with a failing inspection item must have the deficiency corrected before it can meet the federal annual inspection standard. We review the findings so you understand which items require attention.

Federal DOT Trailer Inspection FAQs

How Often Does a Trailer Need a Federal DOT Inspection?
Commercial trailers subject to federal annual inspection requirements must pass an inspection within the preceding 12 months. Each trailer needs its own inspection, even when operated as part of a combination vehicle.
What Happens if My Trailer Fails the Inspection?
Deficiencies that fail the federal inspection standards must be corrected before the trailer can pass. The inspection findings identify the items requiring attention so you can plan corrective work before returning the trailer to service.
What Documentation Is Required After an Inspection?
Documentation of a passing annual inspection must remain on the trailer. This can be the inspection report or a qualifying sticker or decal based on that report. The motor carrier must retain the inspection report for 14 months.
