Which item is examined in Level Three DOT inspection?

• A. The driver's license
• B. The cargo securement
• C. The engine oil level
• D. The vehicle's undercarriage

Answer: (A)

Level Three inspections focus on the driver and their paperwork rather than the vehicle itself. During this level, the officer verifies that the driver has the proper licensing and required documents (such as the CDL, medical card, and any permits) to operate legally and safely. This is why the driver’s license is the item examined in Level Three.

Cargo securement, engine oil level, and the vehicle’s undercarriage are elements of vehicle-condition checks, typically addressed in more comprehensive inspections that review the truck and its load, not the driver’s documentation.
