Vehicle Maintenance

Vehicle Maintenance Compliance

Vehicle maintenance is a critical component of DOT compliance. FMCSA regulations require motor carriers to systematically inspect, repair, and maintain all commercial motor vehicles. Failure to maintain proper maintenance records is a common violation that can result in out-of-service orders and significant fines.

Texas DOT Compliance Group will review your vehicle maintenance program and help you establish the systems and documentation needed to meet all FMCSA requirements under 49 CFR Part 396.
