Howdy..
This is for Independent O/Os registered in the state of PA.
I'm in PA. I have had my truck for a few years now. I have had annual DOT inspections done on my truck and trailer.
But I have NEVER had a Pennsylvania State Inspection done. I didn't even realize there was such a thing until I got pulled-over in PA during the blitz in 2018. The trooper said "Where is your state inspection sticker?" and I pointed at the sticker for the Annual DOT inspection. He put me out of service on the spot.
My question is... Is it currently a requirement that I have an annual Pennsylvania State Inspection performed on my truck and/or trailer if I'm registered in PA?? If so, anyone know a place where I can "pay to pass" the inspection?

We have several trailers and once in awhile we miss getting state inspection on one , pay ticket show court new inspection then back to business. I have never once been put out of service for that! Sounds like you had an inspection that wasn’t good!!!

Where do I go to get this State Inspection done?
How long does it last for?
Why isn't the federal DOT inspection sufficient?
Do they check different things? -

Forget "Pay to Pass". PA had a MASSIVE crackdown a couple of years ago. Either get your truck legal to pass PA inspection or move it to another state. -

I am a licensed NYS motor vehicle inspector.
With that being said you do realize that paying to pass a motor vehicle inspection is illegal.
In NY and probably in PA it is a criminal offense to ask a licensed motor vehicle inspector to pass a vehicle for compensation of any kind.Deere hunter and 650cat425 Thank this. -
If you have Pa plates (truck or trailer) you are supposed to have a Pa inspection sticker. They have been shutting trucks down for not having them. Which in my opinion is wrong.
And lastly lots of things are illegal. It does not mean they don't happen.
