Compliance software
90-day vehicle safety inspection software
AssetStacc tracks the carrier 90-day vehicle safety inspection (CVC 34505.5) on separate truck, tractor and trailer records, with due dates, driver-reported defects and the repairs that close them — per asset, for the whole terminal.
Who this is for
California motor carriers whose terminals fall under the CHP Basic Inspection of Terminals program.
Carriers with a terminal inspection rating to protect
Fleets that need every 90-day inspection, defect and repair traceable to a specific vehicle on a specific date.
Small and mid-sized California fleets
Operators tracking BIT dates in a spreadsheet or a wall calendar who have outgrown it.
The problems it solves
- A 90-day due date passing unnoticed because it lived in one person's calendar.
- A defect recorded on an inspection with no evidence the repair was ever completed.
- Inspection paperwork spread across cabs, email and a filing cabinet when records are requested.
- No single answer to "when was this unit last inspected, and by whom".
What the software does
90-day interval tracking
Each regulated asset carries its own last-inspected date and next-due date.
- Due, due-soon and overdue views
- Per-asset interval, not one fleet-wide date
- History kept after the asset changes hands
Defect to repair, in one thread
A defect found on inspection becomes work, not a note someone has to remember.
- Defect recorded with photos
- Converted to an estimate or work order
- Repair verification stored against the inspection
Driver vehicle inspection reports
Daily driver reports stay attached to the same asset as the 90-day record.
- Reported defects visible to the shop
- Corrections signed off and dated
- Nothing kept only on paper in a cab
Records that survive an inspection visit
The point of the record is being able to produce it later.
- Permanent, per-asset inspection history
- Technician, date and findings retained
- Attachments stored privately, not in a shared folder
How it runs
- 1
Add the terminal's assets

The technician records findings, defects and photos against the asset.
- 4
Correct the defects
Defects become estimate lines or work-order items, with the repair recorded and dated.
- 5
Produce the record on request
Pull the inspection and maintenance history for any asset or the full terminal list.

Common questions
What does the BIT program require?
The California Highway Patrol's Basic Inspection of Terminals program inspects motor carrier terminals and reviews maintenance, inspection and driver records. Separately, CVC 34505.5 requires the carrier to have each applicable vehicle inspected at least every 90 days and keep the records for two years. The CHP reviews those records during a BIT; AssetStacc helps you keep them. Confirm your own obligation against the CHP BIT program page and the California Vehicle Code.
Does AssetStacc perform the carrier 90-day inspection?
No — the CHP conducts BIT terminal inspections. The software records and tracks your 90-day inspections. AssetStacc Mobile Service can perform on-site inspection work in Greater Sacramento; software customers elsewhere record work performed by their own technicians or their chosen shop.
Is a 90-day record the same as a CHP BIT review or federal annual inspection record?
No. The 90-day inspection comes from California Vehicle Code 34505.5 (the BIT terminal program is 34501.12); the federal annual inspection comes from 49 CFR 396.17 and is due at least once every 12 months. A carrier can owe both, and each needs its own record. AssetStacc keeps them as distinct inspection types on the same asset so one is never mistaken for the other.
How does record keeping affect a CHP terminal rating?
A terminal inspection ends in a rating — commonly satisfactory, conditional or unsatisfactory — and that outcome depends heavily on whether the records can be produced on request. AssetStacc keeps 90-day inspections, defects, repairs and driver reports attached to each unit so the history for any vehicle can be exported in one step. AssetStacc does not assign, influence or predict a rating.
Does AssetStacc file anything with the CHP?
No. AssetStacc does not file, report or certify anything with the California Highway Patrol, and it does not determine whether your operation is subject to the BIT program. It records and tracks your evidence so you can produce it. This page is informational and is not legal advice — confirm your obligations with the CHP.
What is available today?
Asset records, inspection records with defects and photos, 90-day interval tracking, due and overdue views, repair follow-up through work orders and permanent asset history are available today. Automated carrier-level terminal reporting exports are on the roadmap and labeled as such.
