FMCSA Inspection Steps for Fleet Compliance
Passing an FMCSA inspection is about preparation. The goal is to avoid surprises: lighting, brakes, tires, leaks, and paperwork.
FMCSA inspection readiness steps
- Confirm documents: annual inspections, maintenance records, and DVIR processes.
- Do a walk-around: lights, reflectors, conspicuity tape, mudflaps.
- Focus on brakes and tires: most common, most expensive OOS items.
- Check leaks and securement: fluids, air leaks, load securement, hoses.
- Fix what’s found and document it: proof matters.
