CMV Inspections: Levels of DOT Inspections (Microlearning)

SNP-82.2

All vehicles classified as commercial motor vehicles, or CMVs, are required to undergo several types of inspections by the Department of Transportation, or DOT, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA. Inspections ensure the safety of drivers, vehicles, cargo and the public. Violations found during DOT inspections can result in fines, vehicles being placed out of service until issues are corrected, or driver's license revocations. This course will help learners identify commercial motor vehicle inspection levels as outlined in the North American Standard Inspection Criteria. This microlearning course addresses a specific aspect of a broader training topic. For a more complete training experience, see DOT-3.2 Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspections.
