GA CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements

A lot of training is required to become a commercial driver, and one of the most important aspects is learning to conduct a pre-trip inspection of your vehicle. Before getting your commercial driver’s license (CDL), you must earn a commercial learner’s permit (CLP). The lessons you learn as you begin your career will be invaluable, and that includes learning to properly perform a pre-trip inspection. It is crucial for you to have a thorough knowledge of the systems and components, such as brakes, tires, and taillights, that keep your vehicle operating safely. At times, Interstate 75 can make you feel like you’re driving on the Atlanta Motor Speedway and can make for a potentially hazardous trip. By taking the time to run through an inspection checklist for your vehicle before getting on the road, you will satisfy federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 while also protecting lives and cargo.

When you apply for a Georgia CDL, your ability to perform a pre-trip inspection will be evaluated. First, your knowledge of pre-trip inspections will be assessed by certain questions on the General Knowledge test for a CLP. Next, your examiner will require you to perform a physical inspection as part of the skills test for a CDL.

Having an intrinsic knowledge of your vehicle’s parts and components needing inspection will put you more at ease with the inspection process. Our Georgia DDS Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test provides expert instruction to help you meet your requirements. You must answer 80% of the 20 questions on the official knowledge test to receive a passing grade. By choosing the practice test over any other on-line resource, you will train with questions similar to those on the official knowledge test that simulate the actual testing environment.

By creating a stress-free approach to learning about pre-trip inspections, the Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test will provide maximum results in a minimal amount of time. The practice test is based on the most recent Georgia DDS CDL driver’s manual (Georgia CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of October 2025. It includes 20 multiple-choice questions, similar to those on the official knowledge test, on your knowledge of pre-trip inspections and shores up your knowledge gaps with authoritative information. In the event you submit an incorrect answer, don’t feel hopelessly lost in your misunderstanding! The practice test will explain the information that would make the answer correct. You won’t find a study guide paying this much attention to your needs. Instead, study guides help you memorize the answers to the questions but offer no further instruction. The practice test leaves other resources in the dust and gets you on the way to excellent driving habits.

For driving skills as solid as Stone Mountain, you should check out the practice tests for other U.S. states and Washington D.C. at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
