Ever wondered how truck inspectors catch critical safety issues on massive semi-trucks? We went behind the scenes at the Daniels Port of Entry in Heber to find out in our latest episode of UDOiT.
In this video, we crawl under UDOT's own Truck Smart semi-truck—the vehicle that travels to high schools across Utah to teach new drivers about truck blind spots and safe road interaction—to get a hands-on look at one of the unique inspection methods: the creeper.
Watch as Nic joins veteran inspector and agent Dick Beveridge, a former Utah State Trooper with decades of experience, who shows us how they check air pressure and ensure the undercarriage, springs, and axles are secure. It's a dirty job, but one that is absolutely essential to road safety.
