Ok if a commercial vehicle trailer specificly is taken to location and the fhwa expires while at particular can it be an inspection station with expired FHWA?

A commercial vehicle trailer with an expired FHWA inspection certificate cannot legally be used to transport goods on public roads. If a trailer is taken to a location and the FHWA inspection certificate expires while it is there, it can only be moved to an inspection station for inspection. It cannot be used for any other purpose until it has been inspected and found to be safe.

The owner of the trailer is responsible for ensuring that the FHWA inspection certificate is kept up to date. If the certificate expires, the owner must have the trailer inspected as soon as possible. Failure to do so could result in fines or other penalties.

It is important to note that the FHWA inspection certificate is not the only requirement for operating a commercial vehicle trailer. Other requirements include having a valid license plate, registration, and insurance. Drivers of commercial vehicles must also have a commercial driver's license (CDL).

By following all of the requirements, you can help ensure that your commercial vehicle trailer is safe to operate on public roads.
