As a commercial driver in the Hoosier State, it is your responsibility to perform a pre-trip inspection at the start of each working day. This inspection usually involves checking the brakes, wheels, lights, steering mechanism, and emergency equipment, among other things. You can find more information about this procedure in the official Commercial Driver License Manual (Indiana CDL Handbook 2026), specifically Section 11 (Vehicle Inspection). We recommend reading this manual and the sections most relevant to your profession multiple times throughout your learning phase. With repetition, your knowledge naturally increases.

Every expert driver started as a beginner, but not all of them had access to practice tests like ours to aid their study. As you begin your learning journey, you have the most efficient tools at your disposal. In Indiana alone, 4,536 practice sessions have been completed this week by aspiring commercial drivers. You can use the same practice tests to evaluate your knowledge, learn from your mistakes, identify areas that need improvement, and prepare for exam day.
