If you’re interested in becoming a commercial driver, start by getting a commercial learner’s permit (CLP) before qualifying for a commercial driver’s license (CDL). From your first day as a commercial driver, you will be required to understand and practice the importance of safety, which includes performing pre-trip vehicle inspections. Until you complete a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s systems and components, it’s not wise to drive it on public roads. The perils of unsafe operation can be as unforgiving as the hot Phoenix sun. Dangerous operation risks the safe transport of cargo and causing bodily harm. The effects of such carelessness could shorten your driving career and cost substantial monetary damages for liability. Furthermore, federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 requires you to be sure your vehicle is safe before driving it on public roads. Getting a checklist to walk you through a pre-trip inspection is a great way to learn the critical parts to examine. However, you’re going to need some additional help.
Beginning your career as a commercial driver involves meeting several requirements, including being able to perform a pre-trip inspection. You will be asked to perform this task in front of an examiner, but you will also see questions about it on the MVD General Knowledge Test. This Arizona MVD CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test gets you ready to demonstrate that skill. You must answer 80% of the 20 questions correctly to earn a passing score on the official knowledge test. Since some of the questions on the official knowledge test pertain to pre-trip inspections, the practice test uses similar questions to prepare you for them.

The CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test is a great way to learn the various steps in the process that verify the safety of your vehicle. A variety of on-line resources are available for you to study, but the practice test offers the most comprehensive instruction. It is based on the most recent Arizona MVD CDL driver’s manual (Arizona CDL Handbook 2026) and up to date as of January 2026. If you’re considering a study guide, you won’t enjoy the same level of preparation that the practice test offers. Study guides merely teach you to memorize the answers to the questions. However, the practice test contains 20 multiple-choice questions to solidify your knowledge of pre-trip inspections. If you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test will provide you with a detailed explanation of the correct one. This approach effectively trains you in the necessary steps for guarding your safety and laying the foundation for an exceptional career.
