Federal law requires all commercial motor vehicles pass a periodic (annual) inspection. This two-day course, led by Motor Carrier Enforcement Supervisor Brandon Evans, will provide a comprehensive understanding of the rules, regulations, and laws as they pertain to commercial motor vehicle inspections and the procedures in performing a safe and effective vehicle inspection.

Participants should have at least one-year experience as a mechanic or CMV maintenance personnel from a motor carrier maintenance program or commercial garage.
