OTA Institute: Periodic Inspection Training

Description

Federal law mandates that all commercial motor vehicles undergo annual inspections. Join us August 27-28 for a two-day course with Brandon Evans, Motor Carrier Enforcement Manager for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, to gain an in-depth understanding of the rules, regulations, and laws governing these inspections.

This hands-on course has been developed to meet the requirements of FMCSR 396.19 and will include the following topics:

• Comprehensive coverage of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation manual
• Thorough examination of inspection criteria as per 49 CFR Part 393
• In-depth analysis of inspection criteria outlined in 49 CFR Appendix G
• Comparison of Appendix G with roadside inspection criteria
• Understanding the disparities between Appendix G and the CVSA Out of Service criteria
• Familiarization with identifying defective components
• Detailed insights into criteria specified in 49 CFR Part 396
• A systematic and efficient inspection procedure

Participants should possess at least one year of experience as a mechanic or CMV maintenance personnel within a motor carrier maintenance program or commercial garage. As a participant, you will receive valuable resources, including the FMCSR manual, CVSA Out of Service Criteria manual, and other course materials. You will also receive a Certificate of Completion upon successfully passing a short written exam.
