West Virginia has adopted Part 396 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), as in effect on January 13, 2022.
Part 396 applies to any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in intrastate and interstate commerce when the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating, gross combination weight rating, gross vehicle weight, or gross combination weight of 10,001 pounds or more, or is of any size transporting a placardable amount of hazardous materials.
| Annual Inspections - Motor Carrier | The West Virginia State Police administers a mandatory periodic inspection program. All commercial motor vehicles registered in the state and operated on the highways of West Virginia are required to be inspected annually at officially designated inspection stations. Upon approval an official inspection sticker is affixed to the lower left-hand corner of the windshield. This mandatory inspection program is considered equivalent to the Federal annual inspection requirement in Part 396. |
