Registered owners of commercial vehicles are responsible for ensuring that each bus, truck, light truck or trailer owned by them receives the required inspection. Commercial Vehicle Inspections are required for commercial vehicles whose registered weight meets or exceeds 11,794 kilograms on an annual basis when operating point to point in Alberta. When operating commercial vehicles outside of Alberta, the jurisdiction(s) in which they operate must meet those legislated requirements for inspections. As well, all registered buses designed to carry more than 10 passengers, including the driver, must be inspected semi-annually.

The original Record of Inspection must be given to the person who presented the vehicle for inspection; regardless of if the vehicle passed the inspection or not. The facility must also retain a copy of the Record of Inspection for their records. A vehicle is to be inspected and determinations made about the pass or fail outcome of the inspection based on the condition of the vehicle at the time of inspection. The inspection is not intended to ensure that a vehicle remains in a safe condition for any particular period after the inspection. Following a “passed” inspection, a report will be provided to the operator and a decal will be affixed to the vehicle. The inspection report should be carried in the vehicle at all times. A copy of the completed inspection report should also be kept at the carrier’s principal place of business. If a vehicle fails an inspection, our experienced team of licensed mechanics will complete your Commercial Vehicle Inspection and can do the work needed to make sure your commercial vehicle passes the inspection.
