Who we are and what we do
MergTech LLC is a veteran-owned company dedicated to providing unbiased, third-party inspections of commercial vehicles.

MergTech has no stake in performing repairs—our sole mission is to deliver honest, accurate assessments that help clients make informed decisions, reduce downtime, and protect their investment.

With deep industry knowledge and a commitment to fairness, MergTech LLC stands as a trusted partner in fleet safety and performance.
Why should you have MergTech perform third-party inspections?
Having your commercial vehicles inspected by a truly independent third party ensures you receive an unbiased, accurate assessment of their condition without the pressure of upselling or unnecessary repairs. A neutral inspector has no financial incentive to exaggerate issues or overlook critical problems. MergTech remains neutral by providing you with a well-documented inspection report that includes descriptions and pictures of all defective items, and we will not make any referrals or recommendations about who should repair any defects discovered during our inspection of your assets. This objectivity builds trust, protects your bottom line, and gives you confidence that any repair recommendations are genuinely in your best interest. Independent inspections can also help you stay compliant with safety regulations, reduce liability risks, and catch small issues before they become costly breakdowns—all while ensuring your fleet operates safely and efficiently.
24/7 access to your online inspection dashboard
The inspection report will include descriptions and pictures of all defective items. With the dashboard, you gain complete visibility and control over your fleet’s health in one easy-to-use platform. Instead of relying on scattered paperwork or delayed updates, you can monitor inspections in real time, track defects as they’re reported, and ensure maintenance is scheduled before small problems turn into costly downtime. The dashboard also simplifies keeping accurate, accessible inspection records, while providing clear asset oversight by showing exactly which inspections were completed and when. With powerful data insights at your fingertips, you can make smarter maintenance decisions, boost efficiency, and keep your fleet safe, compliant, and on the road.
What is inspected?
While commercial drivers are responsible for daily pre-trip inspections, there are many critical components underneath the hood and underneath the vehicle that they simply cannot be expected to evaluate without specialized tools and training. Complex systems and components, such as the drive train, brakes, steering, and suspension, often require a skilled mechanic or independent inspector to assess properly. By relying on an experienced third party, organizations gain peace of mind knowing that issues—those that a typical driver is not able to see—are identified early. This not only prevents unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs but also strengthens safety and overall fleet reliability. List of Items Typically Inspected
What is not inspected?
The inspections do not cover items that drivers should be able to reasonably inspect. Items not inspected by MergTech include typical items on a commercial driver’s pre-trip checklist, such as lights, reflectors, safety equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers and triangles), interior items (e.g., mirrors, seating, seatbelts), and body components (e.g., doors, windows, hatches).
Additional things to consider
- All inspections are performed in-place on your premises–inspectors do not drive the vehicles for any reason
- You provide safe access to the vehicle(s).
- MergTech inspects vehicles that are free of soil and other obstructions that will prevent thorough visual inspection.
- Inspections are visual and observational only; the inspector does not dismantle, repair, or test components beyond reasonable checks
- A paved or concrete surface is required to allow the technician to easily and safely roll underneath the entire unit for thorough inspection
- The final decisions regarding the use, purchase, sale, or operation of any vehicle remain solely with you.
- Inspection prices range from $50 to $175 per unit, depending on the specific unit to be inspected. Travel to and from the inspection location is priced separately and will be quoted according to the distance.
