Annual DOT Inspections for Trucks and Trailers

Ensure your commercial vehicles stay compliant and safe with annual DOT inspections performed by Midco Sales’ certified technicians in Chandler, Arizona. We provide FMCSA-compliant periodic inspections recognized by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for both trucks and trailers.

FMCSA-Compliant Inspections Performed by Qualified Technician

Every commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operating on public roads must pass an annual DOT inspection under 49 CFR §396.17.

Our technicians meet all federal qualifications and inspect every required system according to Appendix G of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR).

Our inspection ensures your vehicle meets or exceeds all federal and state safety standards. Each inspection includes a detailed checklist covering:

• Brake system (service, parking, trailer)
• Steering components and linkages
• Suspension and frame condition
• Tires, wheels, and hubs
• Lights and reflectors
• Coupling devices and fifth wheel
• Exhaust and fuel systems
• Windshield, wipers, mirrors, and horn
• Cargo securement devices

Upon completion, we provide an official DOT inspection report and decal documenting compliance.
