Jonathan’s Fleet Service performs federal annual DOT inspections and pre-purchase inspections on site, so you don’t have to take a truck out of service and drive it across the county to get it looked at.
Annual federal DOT inspection
Federal rules require every commercial motor vehicle to pass a periodic inspection at least once every 12 months. We inspect your truck or trailer at your yard, document the results and, if something doesn’t pass, we can usually make the repair on the spot.
What gets checked
- Brake system
- Steering
- Suspension
- Frame
- Tires, wheels and rims
- Lighting
- Exhaust and fuel systems
- Coupling devices
- Windshield and wipers
Pre-purchase inspection
Buy with confidence. Our pre-purchase inspections give you a detailed evaluation of the vehicle’s mechanical condition, helping you spot potential issues before they become expensive surprises. Whether you’re buying a semi truck, a work truck or another commercial vehicle, we’ll give you an honest assessment so you can make an informed decision.
Looking at a truck? Call 210-765-2933 before you buy. An inspection costs far less than a surprise engine or brake job.
Questions
How often does a truck need a DOT inspection?
Commercial motor vehicles need a periodic (annual) inspection at least once every 12 months, and proof of the inspection has to be kept with the vehicle.
Can you inspect our trucks at our yard?
Yes. We come to your yard or lot, which keeps your trucks close to work and saves you a trip.
What if something fails?
We’ll show you what needs attention and, in many cases, fix it right there so the vehicle can pass.
