Do I need CVIP inspection?

The Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) is a requirement of Alberta Transportation for all commercial trucks, light trucks, trailers, semi-trailers and buses. Foothills Truck & Trailer Service is an approved facility located in Calgary.

​

How often do I need an inspection?

Alberta transportation requires annual inspections of commercial trucks, light trucks, trailers, and semi-trailers with a combined weight of 11,794 kilograms when operating intra-provincially and 4,500 kg when operating extra-provincially. Registered buses that carry more than 10 passengers must be inspected semi-annually.

How does it work?

Our certified & licensed technicians will look over your unit using criteria set by the Alberta Transportation, to make sure everything is working as it should. This includes, but not limited to, power train, suspension, brakes, steering, lighting and electrical system, tires and wheels, body, couplers, and hitches. Once the inspection has been done, we provide you with an estimate of repairs if required, make the repairs if necessary, complete the paper work, and add the decal to your unit that shows the inspection date. You have the peace of mind with our government approved facility.
