You need to upload that paper on your FMCSA Portal, Thanks

The DOT Inspection card that they are providing is required to be carried in the truck and maintained every year. The inspections that you get in the Safer Website are from road side inspections or inspections done at the scale house.

Currently my new truck has 0 inspections and 0 maintenance records. Unfortunately they told me that they would do the inspection but all I would have for validation is a paper report to carry in my truck. The dealership stated that they do not upload any documentation into the FMCSA Safer Website. I am guessing someone out there has a way of working this issue out. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

If you look at the statistics for the United States most violations for DOT are for vehicle maintenance, most common ones are breaks and tires.

I have inspection in paper form but brokers ask for inspection on website.

Unprofessional and rude communication can also be a problem, especially when a driver has been for 10 hours on the go, so the first thing to ensure is compliant driver documents and not exceeded HOS.
