If you own a heavy-duty truck for work purposes in Canada, you’re likely familiar with the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP). This is a mandatory inspection that all commercial vehicles must undergo annually (or semi-annually, depending on your vehicle type and province) to ensure they meet safety standards.
The CVIP is required by law to maintain your commercial vehicle registration and operate legally on Canadian roads. If your vehicle fails this inspection, it’s crucial to address the issues promptly before getting back on the road.
These inspections are vital for the commercial vehicle industry, helping to ensure that all mechanics and owners adhere to proper maintenance protocols, keeping trucks safe and reliable.
During a CVIP inspection, a certified inspector will examine critical components of your vehicle, including:
- ECU system
- Brakes
- Exhaust
- Cargo
- Steering
- Suspension
- Tires
- Battery
- Engine
- Emergency exits
- Windshield wipers
- Trailer
- Steering Wheel
- Lighting
