Truck Inspection and Maintenance Programs - DOT vs. CHP Requirements

Truck Inspection and Maintenance Programs - DOT vs. CHP Requirements

What does a “compliant” maintenance program consist of? Is having perfectly maintained equipment, without any deficiencies, a “red flag?”

This 2-hour training webinar will cover:

What are the maintenance program requirements outlined in T-49 CFR and T-13 CCR?
What are the differences between the inspection requirements in T-49 CFR and T-13 CCR?
Is the person performing the inspections qualified?
Is having “perfect” equipment a “red flag” to the inspector?

Can you answer those questions? We will. This fast-paced webinar is for the mechanic, maintenance supervisor, and safety manager with maintenance program responsibility during a compliance inspection. We will demonstrate key points to cover during your equipment inspections and required contents of a compliant maintenance file. We will also address those items that will cause you to fail an inspection.

As always, we will provide the attendees our library of supplemental help on the topic.
