You have no inspection, so we cannot give you load.

    I'm thinking of pulling into the weigh station to ask them for a dot inspection . Or is there any other way? Should I go to the Dot office, will I need to be attached to my trailer or can I just Bob tail? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
     
    misterG and 77fib77 Thank this.

    Typically a dot inspection will only net you a CVSA sticker and frankly without annual yearly inspections done and noted on your equipment may just result in you being put oos right there....
    Any truck shop...including most ts shops will do annual inspections
    So If it was me I’d go that route.
    I’m saying this assuming(which I hate to do) by your post that your equipment is Not registered in a state that requires state inspections

    He’s wanting to get an inspection from an officer so it shows up when brokers run his DOT number. With all the scams going on brokers are using roadside inspections as a way to know they’re dealing with an actual motor carrier.

    Some brokers think that makes it all ok.
    Even my insurance company told me i should volunteer for an inspection, i had 2, within a month of each other, but they’ve rolled off.
    I just don’t do it.

    If it’s a new MC number , don’t you have to have a roadside inspection done by the DOT within a certain time after activating the MC number ?

    maybe that’s what he’s talking about ?
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Well can’t say I’m surprised about anything so called brokers do today
    But a dot inspection to prove your legit
    I guess dot authority and full insurance coverage and ifta reports and payments are irrelevant
