Non-commercial trailers are not inspected
in NJ or MD. MD does do a safety inspection when title is transferred. PA
has mandatory annual state inspection for any trailer over 3000 pounds gross
weight. All axles must have working brakes, a breakaway brake, chains, couplers,
tires, lights and reflective markings are all checked. Most inspectors who do
horse trailers also sound the decks (hit with a big hammer) or visually inspect
the wood or metal. Commercial over the road vehicles get 6 month inspections
based on weight. PA also requires DOT numbers on commercial vehicles even if
they never leave the state. Commercial vehicles are also subject to probable
cause spot checks by any PA peace officer who is also a certified commercial
vehicle inspector (state police program). For a while Irv Lichtenstein |
