Any trucker or fleet operator knows that to adhere to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, all carriers must have a program to periodically inspect and maintain all of its vehicles. The FMCSA requires that carriers and operators perform these inspections and preventative maintenance on a frequent basis and ensure that records are kept.
While many operators may believe the FMCSA regulations apply only to semi trucks, trailers also must be inspected and maintained in order to remain compliant. Preventive trailer maintenance can entail many tasks, but the most important areas of trailer maintenance include:
• Wheels & Tires
• Lubrications & Adjustments
• Brake Functionality
• Lights, Signals & Safety Features
