Get a Clean DOT Inspection: Tire Tips
If you’re a professional truck driver, you know that DOT inspections are part of the job. The key to getting a Clean DOT is doing thorough pre-trip inspections. And you need to inspect your semi-truck and trailer frequently. At Halvor Lines, our mechanics and technicians play a big role in making sure our trucks and trailers are DOT-compliant and in safe working order. But once you’re out on the road, the responsibility for earning a Clean DOT falls to you.
That’s why we launched a new video series, “Crush a Clean DOT,” to share helpful reminders on things that should become habits during your pre-trip. In this episode, Spencer, our tire technician, reviews how to check tire pressure and tread depth on semi-truck steer tires, on semi-drive tires, and on trailer tires. He also shares DOT regulations for tire pressure and tread depth.
Halvor Lines is currently hiring experienced mechanics, as well as people seeking on-the-job training to become trailer technicians. If you are looking for a job as a diesel mechanic or trailer technician, whatever your experience level, we’d love to connect.
