CT CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test 2 2026
Original questions by our teamBased on 2026 CT CDL Handbook
6 min
Did you know that all aspiring commercial drivers must complete ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) as part of the licensing process? This requirement is mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and applies to all 50 U.S. states, including Connecticut. You must get this training from a training provider listed in the FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry (TPR). Naturally, students may wonder why this training is important. ELDT covers both classroom knowledge and behind-the-wheel training, helping new drivers feel more confident handling commercial vehicles under difficult conditions.
The pre-trip inspection is also taught during ELDT, as it is one of the most important aspects of commercial driving. The official Commercial Driver’s License Manual (Connecticut CDL Handbook 2026) also describes this topic in Section 11 (Vehicle Inspection). You should read it multiple times during your learning phase, and when you’re ready, you can use our Connecticut CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Tests to evaluate your knowledge.
