There are six levels of a DOT inspection, each of which requires a different set of qualifications and procedures to undertake successfully.
Level I: North American Standard Inspection: This is a general inspection of the commercial vehicle, which includes an inspection of all relevant papers, such as drivers licenses, medical cards, inspection reports, etc and an inspection of the various facets of the vehicle, such as seat belts, the suspension system, cargo security, and much more.
Level II: Walk Around/Vehicle Inspection: Similar to Level I, this inspection excludes the requirement for the inspector to go underneath the vehicle. Instead, it focuses on the daily checklist items that the truck driver should inspect before every haul.
Level III: Driver Only Inspection: The attention of the inspector is focused on the driver, and will review things such as their drivers license, medical card, driver's daily log, vehicle inspection report, and more.
Level IV: Special Inspection: Triggered by a report or claim against a suspected fault on the vehicle. The inspection zeroes in on a specific area to ascertain improvements or clear any suspicions.
Level V: Vehicle Only Inspection: Identical to Level I, except conducted without the driver's presence.
Level VI: Enhanced NAS Inspection for Radioactive Shipments: This inspection is conducted when radioactive material is being shipped. The inspection looks for all of the same things as a Level I inspection, with the added emphasis on the radiological material and the conditions it will be traveling in.
