Local notes

Fleets with trailer pools at Plainfield, Whitestown, or Greenwood drop lots can have trailers inspected where they sit instead of pulling each one to a shop.

Federal rules require the inspection report to be kept for 14 months, with a copy or other proof carried on the vehicle (49 CFR 396.17 and 396.21).

Indiana State Police commercial vehicle enforcement runs breakdown inspections, so fixing defects found during the annual inspection helps avoid violations later.

Mobile repair in Indianapolis comes from the team at our Lebanon, IN (S Indianapolis Rd) shop, within our typical service area, typically a 90-minute ETA or less.

We will give you an exact arrival time once your service call is set up.

Questions

Can you inspect trailers sitting at a drop lot?

Yes. Give us the lot address and a list of trailer numbers, and we will schedule a time for a technician to inspect them on-site.

How often is the annual inspection required?

Federal rules require each commercial motor vehicle to pass a periodic inspection at least once every 12 months.
