Commercial motor vehicles (CMV) weighing over 10,000 pounds must submit to a required safety inspection by the Department of Transportation (DOT) every 12 months. This inspection is to ensure that all parts are in safe and working order. Failure to pass inspection can lead to fines, audits and the suspension of your clearance to operate by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which operates under the jurisdiction of the DOT.
VMSprovides Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) inspections for a number of satisfied business owners and corporations in Charleston and the surrounding areas. We'll ensure that your vehicle or fleet meets all requirements prescribed by the D.O.T.
