COMMERCIAL VEHICLE Inspection

The Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) is a requirement of Alberta Transportation for all commercial trucks, truck-tractors, light trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, and buses.

Alberta Transportation requires annual inspections of commercial trucks, truck-tractors, 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 (including the driver) must be inspected semi-annually. The rules and regulations governing the standards of CVIP inspection are updated all the time, hence the need for such frequent inspections. Commercial vehicle to find a facility that is licensed by the Vehicle Safety Section to perform the CVIP. In addition, the technicians must also be licensed to perform the CVIP inspection.

A CVIP is conducted as per the standards set in the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Manual of Alberta Transportation.
