DOT inspection service in Castaic
The Castaic weigh station sits right at the base of the Grapevine. Every northbound truck on I-5 rolls through it. If your truck gets pulled for a Level 1 inspection and fails, you are sitting in the lot until the violations are fixed.
Fleet Nation does DOT inspections at your location. Get your truck inspected before it hits the scales, not after it fails.
What we inspect
Brakes. Brake measurements, slack adjuster function, air system integrity, parking brake test. Brake violations are the number one reason trucks get put out of service at the Castaic scales.
Tires. Tread depth, sidewall condition, inflation pressure, matching across axles. Under-inflated or worn tires are an easy catch for inspectors.
Lights and reflectors. All required lights operational, reflective tape intact, turn signals and brake lights working. Lighting violations are the most common citation at California weigh stations.
Fluid leaks. Engine oil, coolant, power steering, transmission, differential. Any visible leak is a violation. We check everything and fix leaks on-site.
Frame and body. Cracks, missing fasteners, damaged crossmembers. Frame violations can put you out of service immediately.
Coupling devices. Fifth wheel condition, kingpin wear, safety chains, glad hand seals. We check every connection point.
Driver documentation. We verify your paperwork is in order. Expired registrations and missing documents are avoidable violations that cost money.
