By Tara Daniels


Being a driver, you certainly experienced how inconvenient it is and a waste of time to wait for the inspectors to finish checking your vehicle and to check if you are following all the regulations given to you by DOT compliance services. It will not be like that forever as you can certainly avoid all the inconveniences. These are given to assure your safety along the road.

You certainly avoid wasting much of your time with during the inspection. You can too, avoid collecting citations by changing the way you deal with all the matters of your vehicle. Common sense can be one. Yes, it is so easy but sometimes this is forgotten and miscalculated by each driver. You must not be one.

Following this compliance and regulations are significant to ensure that you have fully met what needs to be followed. You and your vehicle are both evaluated at the inspection sites with the same reason. One advantage that you have is that this inspection is done at a fixed area or location. You will then be informed to do the necessary preparations.

Another thing is do not forget to do necessary updating with your log book. The inspectors mostly perform mobile inspection. This is when you are asked to stop and stand by for a random checking. If the inspection always comes out with citation, the officers then will catch your attention every time. And, if nothing changes, they will again and again issue you one.

To assure that you will pass each inspection, you must perform a before travel evaluation of your own. Even if it is just a short trip, having a private inspection will save the day. There can be several short trips and a short inspection can be helpful in checking if something is not going well with the vehicle. Check the lights and other structures of the truck.

Remember that repairing your lamp is more important and more cost efficient than being laid with a citation for traveling with your broken lamps. Be cautious of the tires as well including how tough your brake is. Repair all those who need to be repaired immediately. Maintaining and repairing them in advance will save your big day.

As mentioned, the most important thing is to do the necessary update of the records that you have. Maintain it neat and good looking all the time. All the details must be well written and understandable. When it is as neat as it must be, they will most likely associate you as a responsible and professional driver.

Having a log book that is neat and legible along with the properly drawn lines will definitely impress the Dot inspectors. In some cases, the inspector will matter the thoroughness and neatness of the log book of each driver. Often times, they will matter their decision based on the kind of record you are presenting them.

You may think of these steps as simply elementary and even a child can remember it. Yes, very well and if it is then you must not expect for a citation all your life. To pass the DOT compliance services, be mindful of your responsibilities as a truck driver. Know what needs to be done in your day to day encounter with the DOT inspection.
