Pre- and post-trip inspections are essential practices mandated by the FMCSA to ensure the safety and reliability of commercial motor vehicles.
Post-trip inspections are not explicitly mandated by DOT regulations in the same way pre-trip inspections are. However, the FMCSA does require drivers to report any defects or deficiencies discovered during the day that would affect vehicle safety or potentially result in a breakdown.
(a) No commercial motor vehicle shall be driven unless the driver is satisfied that the following parts and accessories are in good working order, nor shall any driver fail to use or make use of such parts and accessories when and as needed: Service brakes, including trailer brake connections. Parking (hand) brake.
Periodic Inspection (396.17, 396.21) Every commercial vehicle, including each segment of a combination vehicle, must undergo periodic inspection at least once every 12 months.
