A semi truck DOT inspection is a real annual safety inspection, not a guaranteed sticker. At our Matthews shop near Charlotte, a qualified inspector from our diesel mechanic team checks the commercial vehicle components required by the applicable FMCSA periodic-inspection standards and documents the result.
