What is considered commercial transportation?
Anything that hauls heavy loads, dangerous goods or passengers.
Why do I need a CVIP?
Alberta Transportation enforces strict regulations for commercial vehicles, including maintaining a CVIP inspection on an annual basis (semi-annually for buses). The regular CVIP inspections ensure that the vehicle is in good working condition. Seeing as commercial vehicles share the road with other travelers it is very important that the vehicle is operating optimally and has its CVIP inspections up-to-date.
What is checked during a CVIP?
During a CVIP your vehicle is inspected thoroughly by a licensed technician. Some areas we will check include:
- braking
- steering
- transmission
- engine operation
