Part 396 applies to persons employing drivers, drivers, and any self-propelled or towed vehicle used on public highways in interstate and intrastate commerce when the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight, a gross vehicle weight rating, a gross combination weight, or a gross combination weight rating of 10,001 or more pounds, or the vehicle is used in the transportation of hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placarding under the Illinois Hazardous Materials Transportation Act.

Exception: Part 396 does not apply to drivers of covered farm vehicles as defined in 92 Ill. Adm. Code 390.1020.

Annual Inspections - Motor CarrierThe Illinois Vehicle Inspection Law is administered and regulated by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety, Commercial Vehicle Safety Section. Inspections are conducted at Illinois Official Testing Stations which are privately owned businesses that serve as agents of the State of Illinois.
Property-carrying intrastate vehicles subject to the law include:
  • Vehicles registered for a gross weight > 8,000 lbs.,
  • Vehicles which pull a trailer with a gross weight or registered gross weight > 8,000 lbs.,
  • Trailers with a gross weight > 5,000 lbs.,
  • Medical transport vehicles (includes ambulances, rescue vehicles, and medical carriers), and
  • Tow trucks.

Vehicles subject to the law must be inspected every six months.
Truck-tractors, semitrailers, and property-carrying vehicles registered for a gross weight of more than 10,000 pounds but less than 26,001 pounds, must be inspected at least once every 12 months.
For trucks, truck tractors, trailers, and semi-trailers the inspection shall be conducted in accordance with Appendix G to Part 396 procedures. Required safety equipment (emergency warning devices, fire extinguisher) is not subject to inspection during an Appendix G inspection.
For all other vehicles, the safety inspection includes the testing of brakes, lights, horn, reflectors, rear vision mirrors, exhaust system, safety chains, window glass, frame, axles, wheels, tires, steering, and suspension.
Vehicles properly licensed in another state and displaying a valid license plate are exempt from the Illinois Vehicle Inspection Law.
Interstate carriers of property are exempt from the Illinois Vehicle Inspection Law, provided they display the appropriate U.S. DOT number and meet the annual inspection required in Part 396. Illinois Official Testing Stations are authorized to conduct the Federal annual inspection required by Part 396.
