DOT Annual Inspection Training

Online DOT Annual Inspection Training is a straightforward and budget-friendly way to learn the key sections of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations that apply to qualified inspectors. Whether you’re running a small shop or managing a large fleet, this course is easy to roll out across your entire team so everyone stays on the same page. It clears up common misunderstandings about commercial vehicle regulations and helps cut down on roadside violations—either for your trucks or your customers’.

While there’s no official “DOT Annual Inspector Certification,” inspectors are still required to meet certain qualifications, including knowing specific FMCSR sections. This training covers those required areas—and more. At the end of each section, there’s a quick review quiz that needs to be passed before moving forward. To finish the course and get a certificate, users must also pass a final general knowledge quiz.

The course is self-paced, so users can log in and out whenever it’s convenient. They’re in full control—able to go back and review any material as many times as needed to fully understand it before moving on.

$149 per user — Fleet pricing available.
