If you own a business that utilizes trucks, trailers, or buses, getting a CVIP inspection is required by Alberta Transport to operate on Alberta roads and highways.
Bear Creek Maintenance has provided CVIP inspection checklists administered by Alberta Transport for trucks and truck-tractors, trailers, semi-trailers, c-dollies, converter dollies, school buses, commercial buses, and motor coaches. Our team has also provided a list of common items you can repair, inspect, or replace before or after your CVIP to save money.
CVIP Inspection Checklist
Although there may be many repairs only a certified Bear Creek Maintenance mechanic will have the knowledge and expertise to complete, there are some simple repairs operators can do themselves, either before or after an inspection to reduce the final cost of repairs.
