Scenic Arkansas State Route 7 offers some stunning views – and serious challenges for drivers of large commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). It’s a winding two-lane road known for steep grades, hairpin turns, and narrow or nonexistent shoulders. No matter what kind of vehicle you’re driving, it’s wise to check it over before driving on a road like that. That’s even more true for large CMVs. Federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 requires you to be satisfied that your CMV is safe to drive before you drive it on public roads. This means conducting a comprehensive pre-trip inspection before your first trip of the day in that vehicle.
Your official Arkansas CDL manual (Arkansas CDL Handbook 2025) discusses pre-trip inspections in detail, including minimum performance standards for the safe operation of various components and systems.
The official General Knowledge Test likely contains some questions on pre-trip inspections, including identifying defects or faults in the vehicle’s components and systems. All questions on the General Knowledge Test are based on the official Arkansas CDL manual. You should study the manual, but many drivers have found it hard to learn from.
Our practice tests can help you straighten out all that information in your mind and make it easier to absorb. This Arkansas CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test, the first of several we offer, will help you master the material on pre-trip inspections in the official CDL manual and ace those questions on the General Knowledge Test.
Like the official knowledge test, this practice test is multiple choice. Each question comes with several answer options. You must choose the best or most complete answer. Our AI assistant comes with each question. It can help you learn by supplying hints and answering your own questions about commercial driving theory. If you still miss a question, the AI assistant will immediately let you know and provide an explanation of the correct answer. This immediate feedback will help reinforce the correct answer in your mind.
To obtain a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you must pass a three-part skills test: pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control, and on-road driving. You’ll conduct a pre-trip inspection of a CMV as you explain your actions to your test examiner. Failure of the pre-trip inspection test means failure of the entire skills test.
After you get your CDL, continue thoroughly inspecting your vehicle every day that you drive it. Federal regulations prohibit driving an unsafe CMV. Besides, you may be risking your life and those of other road users if you do.
