SEMI TRUCK PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION

Same-day inspection. ECM scan included. Full photo report. $350 flat.

A pre-purchase semi truck inspection covers the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, electrical, and cab condition. Sell My Rig inspectors use a J1939 diagnostic cable to pull ECM fault codes and aftertreatment status, check brake lining depth with calipers, measure tread depth at every position in 32nds, photograph 200+ checkpoints, and verify the VIN against the door placard and GVWR sticker. The full report is delivered digitally same day, typically within hours of the inspection.
