Which type of station is responsible for inspecting trailers, including those with air brakes?

The Class B Station is designated for inspecting trailers, including those equipped with air brakes. This classification is critical because trailers, especially those that utilize air brake systems, have specific safety and operational requirements that must be thoroughly evaluated to ensure roadworthiness. Class B Stations are equipped and authorized to conduct detailed inspections, which encompass various elements such as the functionality of air brakes, structural integrity, and compliance with safety regulations.

This classification underscores the importance of specialized knowledge and tools required for inspecting heavier vehicles and trailers. Inspectors at a Class B Station receive the necessary training and certification to handle the complexities involved in trailer inspections, ensuring that safety standards are upheld and that vehicles are safe for operation on public roads.
