Vehicle Maintenance Tip

Check your engine oil level often. Following the suggested oil change interval will improve cold-weather starting and provide better fuel economy and performance. Check your service information system or owner’s manual for proper oil type and suggested oil-change interval.

Inspection & Repair Industry: Commercial Re-certification

How can you prepare for the exam?

The Commercial Re-certification requirement includes four hours of classroom training prior to taking the online exam. Parsons will contact you by phone (using the phone number you provided on your training application and/or your station’s phone number) to schedule the training.
After you attend your Commercial RECERT training class, there is a mandatory two day study period before the exam becomes available to you online. The study period is designed to provide you an opportunity to review the new training material prior to taking the online exam.

Classroom & Exam Information

The Commercial RECERT training class focuses primarily on the Massachusetts Commercial Vehicle Safety Inspection and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Regulations.
You will receive the most recent edition of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Regulation Handbook during your training class.
Commercial RECERT training will be conducted in the Braintree, Pocasset, Medford, Shrewsbury and West Springfield Motorist Assistance Center (MAC) facilities.
Day and evening classes are offered. Inspectors who need to cancel/reschedule a confirmed RECERT class must provide 24 hours advance notice to Parsons that they cannot attend by contacting our Training Office at 781-794-2961 or 781-794-9821. If you fail to provide 24 hour cancellation notice of a confirmed class, you will be charged the commercial RECERT fee for the missed training class. You will not be permitted to schedule another RECERT training class until you have paid your missed training class fee.
The Commercial RECERT exam is notably different than the initial Commercial training exam.
The basis for the re-certification exam questions can be found in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Regulation Handbook, Commercial Training Manual and Commercial RECERT classroom presentation.
