 MTA offers Periodic Inspection Training (PIT) classes each quarter.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), 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.
