Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations require commercial drivers to perform a pre-trip inspection at the beginning of their shift. This inspection covers critical safety components, including brakes, steering, lights, tires, and emergency equipment. If you find any condition likely to affect the safe operation of your vehicle, you are required to report it immediately and have the vehicle repaired before driving. Pre-trip inspections protect both you and other road users. You should master this procedure before you begin the licensing process. More details about pre-trip inspections and other important topics of commercial driving theory can be found in the official Iowa Commercial Driver’s License Manual (Iowa CDL Handbook 2025).
The official general knowledge exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. You must answer all questions before the timer runs out. A minimum score of 80% is required to pass, leaving little room for error. To ace this exam on your first attempt, you should train with our Iowa CDL Class B Practice Test.
