Skip the Shop Queue With a Mobile DOT Inspection Service

Every hour a tractor spends waiting for an open bay is an hour it is not producing revenue. Our mobile DOT inspection service brings qualified technicians, tooling, and paperwork directly to your location across Lafayette Parish and Acadiana.

On-Site Fleet Inspections

Inspections performed at your yard, terminal, or jobsite — no shuttle drivers, no chase vehicles, and no unnecessary shop downtime.

Flexible Off-Hours Scheduling

Evening, weekend, and off-hours scheduling keeps your trucks available during your busiest and most profitable operating hours.

Multiple Units, One Visit

We can inspect tractors, trailers, box trucks, dump trucks, service vehicles, and other fleet units during the same scheduled visit.

Consolidated Fleet Billing

Keep administration simple with one central billing source covering multiple units, locations, inspections, and related fleet services.

On-the-Spot Repairs

When an inspection uncovers a repairable defect, our technicians can handle many common issues on site to help get the unit back into compliance faster.

Complete Compliance Documentation

Receive completed inspection reports and organized documentation for each unit, making it easier to maintain fleet records and stay prepared for compliance reviews.

Comprehensive Process

What Your Annual DOT Inspection for Trucks Covers

Federal regulation 49 CFR 396.17 requires every covered commercial motor vehicle to pass a periodic inspection at least once every 12 months, measured against the Appendix G minimum standards.

Our annual DOT inspection for trucks works that full checklist, component by component:

  • Brake systems, including linings, drums, hoses, and air loss rate

  • Steering components, linkage, and free play

  • Suspension, springs, U-bolts, and air suspension integrity

  • Frame, frame members, and cross members

  • Tires, wheels, rims, hubs, and fasteners

  • Coupling devices, fifth wheels, pintle hooks, and safety chains

  • Lighting devices, reflectors, and electrical connections

  • Exhaust system, fuel system, and cab safety equipment

  • Windshield glazing, wipers, and mirrors

Every annual DOT inspection for trucks ends with a completed inspection report for your file. Carriers must retain that report for 14 months, and we deliver it in a format your safety director can drop straight into your DQ and vehicle maintenance records.

Why Acadiana Fleets Choose
Champion Lube and Repair

Local diesel expertise, not a franchise script

Owner Adam Smith was born and raised in Lafayette, graduated from Acadiana High School, finished first in his class as an ASE Certified Technician, and mastered Diesel Technology at Louisiana Technical College before spending 12 years at Louisiana Crane and Construction working on everything from small equipment to multi-million-dollar cranes.

We inspect for South Louisiana conditions

Humidity, oilfield roads, and coastal salt punish brake hardware, frame rails, and wiring differently than they do anywhere else. We know which findings will actually get a unit tagged at a scale house, and which ones are cosmetic.

Preferred fleet pricing

Fleet accounts get competitive rates on inspections and on the repair and maintenance work that follows, structured for long-term value instead of one-off ticket prices.

Planned maintenance and cost forecasting

We map inspection dates and service intervals across your roster so renewal season lands as a line item you planned for, not an unbudgeted scramble.

Coverage beyond Lafayette

We service Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, New Orleans, Alexandria, Shreveport, and Slidell, plus Houston and Mississippi markets, under the same account and the same schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a mobile DOT inspection service visit per unit?

Most tractors and trailers take 45 to 90 minutes, depending on configuration and condition. Because we inspect several units back-to-back at your yard, per-unit time drops significantly compared with sending each truck to a shop individually.

Can you perform a DOT inspection in Lafayette, LA after-business hours?

Yes. Evening, weekend, and overnight scheduling is standard for our fleet accounts. We deliberately work when your trucks do not, which means compliance work happens without pulling revenue-generating units out of your daily dispatch rotation.

What happens if a unit fails the annual DOT inspection for trucks? ight while they are parked?

We document every defect, quote the repair immediately, and fix qualifying items on site during the same visit. Larger repairs get scheduled fast. You approve the work before we proceed, with no surprise charges added afterward.

Do trailers need their own inspection, or does the tractor cover both?

Each segment requires its own inspection. Tractors, semitrailers, full trailers, and converter dollies are all inspected and documented separately under federal rules. We track trailer expirations alongside power units, so nothing slips through your schedule.

How long do we need to keep DOT compliance inspection records?

Federal rules require motor carriers to retain periodic inspection reports for 14 months from the report date. We provide documentation in a format your safety team can file immediately, keeping you audit-ready without extra administrative work.

Do you work with small fleets, or only large operations?

We work with fleet accounts of every size, from five units to several hundred. Smaller fleets often gain the most, because a single truck sitting at a shop represents a much larger share of daily capacity.

How far in advance should we schedule DOT compliance inspection Louisiana fleets depend on?

Two to four weeks ahead is ideal. That window gives us room to stagger units across your calendar and leaves time to complete any repairs before the current inspection expires, and the unit becomes non-compliant.
