 MTA offers Periodic Inspection Training (PIT) classes each quarter.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations (FMCSA), Part 396 and the
Michigan Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1963, require that all commercial motor
vehicles (CMVs) pass a periodic (annual) inspection.
The inspection must be
performed by a qualified individual. Although the State of Michigan requires
some mechanics to be state certified, this does not mean they are qualified
to perform a periodic (annual) inspection.
To assist maintenance personnel in understanding the requirements for the
inspection, Michigan Trucking Association offers a two-day Periodic
Inspection Training course. This program has been developed to meet the
requirements of FMCSR 396.19 and is open to qualified maintenance personnel.
Why Michigan Trucking Association’s class?
Training for periodic inspection standards was originally
developed by Michigan Trucking Association. Participants will
have successfully completed a the only
state association-sponsored training program and will
receive a certificate of completion and company certification
form that may be used for possible audit purposes.
Class participants will comply with 49 CFR Part §396.19 and
understand the inspection criteria set forth in 49 CFR Part §393
and Appendix G of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
How is this class different from CVSA Level I Inspection
Procedure Training?
While CVSA inspection training covers out-of-service
criteria, it is more lax in certain inspection areas. MTA’s
training not only covers CVSA out-of-service criteria, it
comprehensively covers all other aspects of repair and
maintenance.
Why a two day class? Why not one day or online?
To ensure enough time for in-depth discussion of the
material and participant questions. If a participant has a
question, he or she can stop the instructor to clarify the
material. Also, according to participant feedback, they
appreciate and learn from their counterparts in the class. They
are encouraged to share real-life situations that highlight the
relevance of the material being presented.
