Minimize Downtime with On-Site Inspections
We know that pulling trucks off the road for inspections costs you money. That’s why we offer mobile DOT inspections. We can dispatch our service trucks to your fleet yard or distribution center to inspect multiple vehicles during their scheduled downtime, keeping your drivers out of the repair shop and on the highway.
