MNDOT & FHWA Inspections
Certified Commercial Truck Inspections
When it comes to commercial vehicles in Minnesota. DOT Inspections are mandatory. To ensure the safety of all drivers and passengers, MNDOT Certified Inspections are required on a regular basis in order to be compliant with state regulations.
What are DOT Inspections?
DOT inspections are thorough examinations conducted by qualified technicians to ensure that commercial vehicles meet the standards set forth by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT). These inspections help to ensure that a vehicle is safe and compliant with all state regulations.
What are FHWA Inspections?
