Certified CVIP inspections for on-road heavy-duty trucks and trailers, completed accurately, efficiently, and with clear documentation to keep you compliant and road-ready. School buses require semi-annual CVIP inspections to ensure ongoing safety and regulatory compliance.
Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) inspections are a legal requirement for on-road heavy-duty trucks and trailers operating in Alberta. These inspections are not optional, and incomplete or incorrect inspections can lead to fines, downtime, or units being taken out of service.
TOP GUN HD provides certified CVIP inspections for on-road heavy-duty trucks and trailers, supporting transportation companies, fleet operators, and owner-operators who need inspections completed correctly and on time. Our technicians understand both the regulatory requirements and the real-world pressures of keeping trucks on the road.
Our approach is straightforward. Inspect thoroughly, communicate clearly, and ensure your unit meets provincial safety standards without unnecessary delays.
Schedule a CVIP inspection at TOP GUN HD’s licensed facility to keep your truck or trailer compliant and road-ready.
CVIP inspections are a comprehensive evaluation of a truck or trailer’s safety-critical systems. Our certified technicians inspect units in accordance with Alberta Transportation regulations and current CVIP standards.
Inspections include, but are not limited to:
Exhaust and emissions-related components
Coupling devices and fifth wheels / trailers
Brake systems and air components
Steering and suspension systems
Lighting and electrical systems
Frame and structural integrity
Required safety equipment
Tires, wheels, and rims
All findings are documented clearly, with deficiencies explained so corrective actions can be planned efficiently.
In Alberta, CVIP inspections are required for:
On-road commercial trucks with a registered weight of 11,794 kg (26,001 lbs) or more
Fleet and owner-operator units subject to annual safety compliance
Commercial trailers and tankers operating on public roadways
CVIP inspections are valid for 12 months and must be renewed before expiry to avoid fines, out-of-service orders, or enforcement issues.
Unplanned downtime is expensive. Preventative maintenance is one of the most effective ways to control operating costs and avoid major failures.
TOP GUN HD builds preventative maintenance programs that align with your fleet size, usage patterns, and operating environment. We focus on identifying issues early, before they lead to breakdowns, secondary damage, or lost production time.
Preventative maintenance allows fleet managers to:
Schedule repairs instead of reacting to failures
Control maintenance budgets more effectively
Improve safety and reliability
Reduce emergency callouts
Arriving unprepared for a CVIP inspection increases the risk of failure, downtime, and added cost.
TOP GUN HD offers CVIP preparation services to help identify issues before the inspection is performed. When deficiencies are identified during a CVIP, we communicate clearly and can complete required repairs to bring the unit back into compliance.
Preparation and repair support helps:
Keep compliance schedules on track
Avoid repeat inspection visits
Minimize out-of-service time
Reduce failed inspections
Contact TOP GUN HD to review your fleet and plan CVIP inspections and repairs with minimal disruption to operations.
We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. We maintain fleets the way they need to be maintained, based on how they are actually used.
We support CVIP inspections for:
Owner Operators
Trailer & Tanker Fleets
Commercial Trucking Operations
Transportation & Logistics Fleets
Whether you manage multiple units or a single truck, inspections are completed with the same attention to accuracy and professionalism.
If your heavy-duty truck or trailer requires a CVIP inspection, contact TOP GUN HD to schedule service at our licensed facility. Our team will confirm inspection requirements, availability, and next steps to keep your unit compliant and road-ready.
CVIP inspections must be completed at a licensed CVIP inspection facility by a certified inspector. They cannot be legally completed outside of a licensed inspection shop.
Yes. We offer CVIP preparation services to identify and address potential issues before inspection, helping reduce failed inspections and downtime.
