Trailer-Only Inspection (Standalone Trailer)

A standalone trailer (not coupled to a tractor) still requires periodic inspection. The carrier owns the inspection responsibility.

Annual inspection (same as tractor)

  • Required every 12 months
  • Conducted by a qualified inspector
  • Covers brakes, lights, hubs, structure, body, suspension
  • Certificate retained in trailer file

Pre-trip inspection of trailer

  • Driver coupling to a trailer inspects the trailer at coupling
  • Brake hose connections, lights, glass, mirrors
  • Body integrity, latches, doors

When trailer is parked

  • Not subject to daily DVIR (only when in operation)
  • Annual inspection still required regardless of parking time
  • Lights, tires, structure visible from outside should be checked weekly

Trailer ownership scenarios

  • Owned trailer — carrier is responsible for inspection
  • Leased trailer — depending on lease, lessor may be responsible (read the lease)
  • Hired trailer (drayage, intermodal) — operator/owner responsible

Trailer maintenance records

Required per § 396.3:

  • Last annual inspection
  • Last preventive maintenance event
  • Last repairs
  • Hub lubrication
  • Lighting and electrical work

Inspection at non-traditional times

  • Before long-term storage (180+ days inactive)
  • After unusual wear pattern noticed
  • Following accident or impact event
  • When carrier identifies trailer in trouble pool

Compass Vehicles tracking

  • Trailer fleet visible in main vehicle inventory
  • Annual inspection due tracked per VIN
  • Coupling event auto-logs pre-trip
  • Inactivity flag for trailers inactive 180+ days

CFR citations

  • 49 CFR § 396.17
  • 49 CFR § 393
  • FMCSA Appendix G

How Compass surfaces this

Searchable in Compass Ask. Runs against carrier fleet data when invoked from the relevant tracker. Read-only; no actions without explicit user approval.
