What is a "terminal" as defined in the BIT Program?
A terminal is any place where a vehicle described above is regularly garaged,
maintained, operated or dispatched from, including a dispatch office, cross-dock
facility, maintenance shop, business, store, or even a private residence. For purposes
of BIT inspections, "terminal" means the location or locations in California that
are designated by a motor carrier, where vehicles subject to the BIT program may
be inspected by the CHP and where vehicle maintenance records and drivers' records
will be made available for inspection (Section 34515 VC). A terminal inspection
does not include inspection of any building or land, only vehicles and required records located there.
