DOT Commercial Truck Inspection

A well-functioning vehicle is essential to completing your work in a timely and safe manner. At Thompson Truck Source, we know the importance of commercial truck safety and efficiency. Understanding and adhering to regulations from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) or Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) keeps your truck or fleet of trucks on the move and in compliance, maintaining your productivity.

When your individual truck or fleet needs an annual inspection in accordance with DOT standards, you can trust us to complete every step and keep you informed throughout.

Services We Provide for Semitruck DOT Inspections

Below is a selection of the many services we can provide during DOT inspections for semitrucks and other commercial vehicles:

  • Fluid sampling: A fluid analysis will reveal your oil and coolant’s condition, allowing you to make necessary service decisions such as replacing the oil or having your engine repaired. Get granular information on characteristics such as oil pH, glycol levels, and boiling and freezing points.
  • Dyno testing: Receive a better understanding of your truck engine’s wheel horsepower, engine horsepower, and internal systems temperatures through a dyno test. We can identify issues related to overheating, emissions output, and low horsepower to address inefficient operation.
  • Axle alignment and wheel balancing: Our tire services help you ensure your tires have the proper tread depth and alignment for safe driving and handling on the road. We also check the condition of components like wheel spokes and welds to cover all the bases.
  • Brake adjustment: Your truck’s brakes are vital for road safety. Rely on us to review everything from hoses and brake lines to rotors or drums, depending on the type of brakes your vehicle has.
  • Steering and suspension inspection: We will inspect your steering and suspension systems and all their components for any signs of wear or damage that need to be addressed.
  • Parts replacement and repair: If we identify any problems with your truck’s components, we will repair or replace them to help you avoid DOT violations and bigger mechanical issues in the future. We source our parts from HDA Truck Pride to provide trusted brand-name products, including STEMCO and Eaton offerings.
