FMCSA Checklist: What Indiana Fleets Must Fix Before 2026 Rule Updates
Simple FMCSA readiness checklist for Indiana fleets so you know what to fix before new rule updates hit.
Why Indiana fleets can’t ignore FMCSA changes
FMCSA rules show up at scale houses, roadside inspections, and during audits. When rule updates roll out, small fleets often find out the hard way.
Core areas to review before new updates hit
- Brake and wheel-end condition.
- Tires, wheels, and tread depth.
- Lights, wiring, and conspicuity tape.
- Steering, suspension, and frame condition.
- Documentation and inspection records.
