In light of my recent frame experience I have come to realize that if you haul heavy a frequent roll around under the truck inspection is a really good plan. Just saying
It helps to understand why the Highway Patrol has Weigh/Inspection stations. There was a time I welded/repaired truck frame that failed inspection. I am not suggesting we have this type of inspection for all vehicles, but do understand for big rigs.
It is my understanding that some states require safety inspections every year or two. I wonder if it includes the frame?
Semi off topic but in CA if you get into a place , ie flatbed or over unladed wt above 8000 lbs , or over 11000 gvw and they say you need CA and DOT #`S (not a clearly defined area) then you do get your truck inspected each year by CHP motor carrier division , Guess that's a good thing in some cases
