At Pacific Fleet Services, we offer comprehensive DOT inspections, ensuring your vehicles pass both BIT and federal DOT inspections, avoiding penalties, maintaining roadworthiness, and promoting safety.
What is the Difference Between a BIT and Federal DOT Inspection?
While federal DOT inspections focus on adhering to national standards set by the Department of Transportation, BIT inspections, short for Basic Inspection of Terminals, emphasize the particular requirements outlined by the state of California for commercial vehicles.
BIT inspections focus on ensuring compliance with California's laws for commercial vehicles, are required every 90 days, and are performed on any commercial motor vehicle (CMV) over 10,001 pounds. On the other hand, federal DOT inspections adhere to national standards set by the Department of Transportation and are carried out every 12 months.
At Pacific Fleet Services, we specialize in BIT and federal DOT inspections, with these being some of the standout services we offer. Our experienced technicians are well-versed in the unique requirements of each inspection type, allowing us to provide thorough and accurate assessments of your heavy-duty trucks.
