What Is a 90-Day BIT Inspection?
A 90-day BIT inspection is a periodic safety inspection performed on applicable commercial vehicles as part of California’s Basic Inspection of Terminals (BIT) requirements. The inspection evaluates specified vehicle systems and components to help identify safety-related defects and document the vehicle’s condition as part of the carrier’s required inspection and maintenance program.
What Does a 90-Day BIT Inspection Cover?
A 90-day BIT inspection focuses on safety-related systems and components required under California’s periodic inspection requirements. The inspection helps identify defects that could affect the safe operation of the vehicle and provides documentation of the inspection and any required repairs.
- Brake adjustment
- Brake system components and leaks
- Steering and suspension systems
- Tires and wheels
- Vehicle connecting devices
Who Needs 90-Day BIT Inspections?
California’s BIT program applies to certain motor carriers and commercial vehicles subject to the state’s inspection and maintenance requirements. Depending on the vehicle type, size, configuration, and operation, carriers may be required to ensure applicable vehicles receive periodic inspections at least every 90 days and maintain records documenting those inspections.
Because BIT requirements do not apply identically to every commercial vehicle, SoCal Fleet Compliance can review your vehicle and operation information when you request service to help determine whether our 90-day BIT inspection service is appropriate for your vehicle.
BIT Inspection Records and Documentation
Proper documentation is an important part of California’s BIT inspection and maintenance requirements. Periodic inspection records should identify the vehicle inspected, the date and nature of the inspection, and any repairs performed. Inspection records should also include the signature of the motor carrier’s authorized representative attesting to the inspection and completion of required repairs.
Following the inspection, SoCal Fleet Compliance provides documentation of the inspection results for your records. BIT inspection and maintenance records must generally be retained for at least two years. Maintaining organized records can help demonstrate compliance during a CHP terminal inspection and provides a documented history of your vehicle’s inspection and maintenance program.
