Signs Your Cargo Tank Needs Testing

• Visible corrosion, weld cracks, or dents
• Recent repair or modification to the shell or fittings
• Annual or biennial V and P test deadlines approaching
• You’ve received a DOT or CTC compliance notice
• The tank is used for hazardous material transport and requires regular inspection

Visual and Pressure Testing (VAPT) + Clean Truck Check (CTC)

At Truckanics, we combine federally required V and P tests with California's Clean Truck Check to streamline your compliance in one visit.

Visual Inspection (V): Checks the tank shell, fittings, manways, valves, and weld seams for signs of wear, corrosion, or structural compromise.

Pressure Test (P): Hydrostatic or pneumatic testing to confirm the tank can safely withstand internal pressure as required by DOT.

Clean Truck Check (CTC): Using CARB-approved tools (like the Silver Snap Tool), we complete required OBD testing on the tractor or power unit for Clean Truck Check compliance.

This dual approach ensures your tank and vehicle are fully legal—under both state and federal law.
