Moreover, the DOT inspection consists of six extensive levels. These six extensive levels include inspection of the commercial motor vehicle as well as inspection of the truck driver.
So let’s see in details what the six extensive levels of DOT inspection include:
1. North American Standard Inspection
The first extensive level or better known as the North American Standard Inspection, includes a complete check of the driver’s documentation- the driver’s license, medical certificate, daily longs, HOS documents, driver and vehicle inspection reports as well as hazmat endorsements.
Hence, the DOT inspector while performing the North American Standard Inspection is able to check whether the truck driver is using alcohol, drugs or other hazardous materials that can harm the safety of all people engaged on the roads.
