Free GA CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Exam 2025

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

Have you ever wondered why a pre-trip inspection is necessary? The main reason is to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. Detecting problems like faulty brakes, leaks, or loose parts can help prevent accidents. Moreover, this procedure is also required by law, as both federal and state regulations require commercial drivers to conduct a pre-trip inspection before they get behind the wheel. You may be used to driving your personal vehicle while the “check engine” light is on, but this practice is unacceptable when you’re a commercial driver.

The pre-trip inspection involves a walk-around procedure. You should do it the same way each time to make it easier to remember. During this inspection, you will carefully examine multiple parts of the vehicle to verify that everything is in good working condition.

To obtain a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you must pass a written knowledge test and a hands-on skills test, which includes a pre-trip inspection test. Take your time to prepare for these tests and make use of the various learning resources available online. A great place to start is by practicing on our practice tests, which closely reflect the actual written exam.

You have unlimited attempts, and there’s no time limit, allowing you to practice as often as you want. Through repetition, you’ll get a deeper understanding of the subject. When the exam day comes, the typical emotions of anxiety and nervousness will be replaced with confidence, thanks to your preparation.

Our practice test has 20 questions based on the official 2025 CDL manual (https://driving-tests.org/georgia/ga-cdl-handbook/). Although there are multiple answer options, only one of them is correct. You’ll receive immediate feedback after each question, so you won’t have to wait until the end of the test to know which questions you got wrong. We recommend that you pay attention to these explanations and memorize the subject at hand. This is a practice test intended to help you study and better understand what the pre-trip inspection is all about.

Pro tip: browse through our pre-trip inspection complete guide while you are taking the test. While this move won’t be allowed during the actual exam, it gives you the opportunity to identify the answer to each question by actively looking for it in our academy section.
