What is a Commercial Truck FHWA Inspection?
An FHWA inspection is a comprehensive inspection of a commercial truck and its driver, regulated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The inspection's purpose is to ensure that the vehicle and its driver comply with safety regulations, such as the Hours of Service (HOS) rules and equipment safety. If you’ve got a commercial truck with a GVW of 10,000 lbs or more, you’re required to undergo an annual FHWA inspection.
What Does an FHWA Inspection Involve?
During an FHWA inspection, our certified technicians will check all your truck's components, including brakes, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, lights, and any other parts deemed necessary. Our team will also inspect your truck's documentation and the driver's records to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Our inspection process is thorough, and our goal is to catch any issues before they become a safety hazard.
What To Bring to an FHWA Inspection
To ensure that the inspection process goes smoothly, there are some documents and equipment that you need to bring with you. You need to have your driver's license, the truck's registration, and insurance information. Additionally, you're obligated to bring your HOS records and any equipment necessary for the inspection, such as reflective triangles and fire extinguishers.

Great experience from beginning to end. We had never used Bus & Truck of Chicago and what a great surprise! Angela made the whole process worry free, from the estimate to the final product.
Bus & Truck of Chicago is excellent! When my company's truck needed repairs, I took a chance on Bus & Truck Chicago and it really paid off. They were able to fix all the mechanical and body issues in three days, saving us a ton on rentals.
Our experience with B&T has been wonderful so far. Our lift stopped working. We weren't able to use our bus. Angela and her staff were absolutely spot on in all aspects.
Very professional, great work, customer service was outstanding, we wouldn't take our truck anywhere else.
Took my truck here for an alignment, they did an amazing job, fast in and out, definitely would recomend them!!!
They fix everything. They have no issue with you showing up with the part and changing whatever part you want. Not like other shops that insist they diagnose the issue.
"Wonderful company to deal with. Very professional and accommodating to our company’s needs. Service is fast and efficient. We have brought 5 trucks over for repairs in the last 3 months and have NOT had 1 issue with the service or the repairs. Cannot be happier with this company."
