With each completed commercial vehicle inspection, a record of inspection (ROI) will be provided regardless of whether the vehicle passed the inspection or not. Shaw Fleet is required to retain a copy of the Record of Inspection for our records. Determinations of whether a vehicle passes or fails can only be made at inspection time. An inspection is intended to provide you with information on the vehicle’s current condition.

A report will be provided if a vehicle passes inspection, and a decal will be affixed to the vehicle. It is recommended that a copy of the inspection report always be carried in the vehicle, with the original document kept in safe storage at the principal place of business.

If a commercial vehicle fails the inspection, then our experienced technicians and licensed mechanics will complete your Commercial Vehicle Inspection at our authorized facility and perform the work required to make sure your commercial vehicle is within compliance.
