UDOiT Goes Under the Truck: Inside a Port of Entry Inspection

Ever wondered how UDOT Port of Entry Agents catch critical safety issues on semi-trucks? We went behind the scenes at the Daniels Port of Entry in Heber to find out in our latest episode of UDOiT.

In this video, we crawl under UDOT's own Truck Smart semi-truck, the vehicle that travels to high schools across Utah to teach new drivers about truck blind spots and safe road interaction, to get a close-up look at one of the unique inspection methods: the creeper.
