Whether you’re driving a school bus or a tanker loaded with food-grade liquids, you must perform the mandatory pre-trip inspection at the start of your shift. This procedure is required by law and must be completed by all commercial drivers in the United States. You will usually check the brakes, wheels, emergency equipment, headlights, and the steering mechanism. Because this is one of the most important aspects of commercial driving theory, your knowledge of it will be evaluated during the official General Knowledge Exam. Furthermore, you must perform a pre-trip inspection during your CDL skills tests. Failing to perform this inspection correctly leads to automatic failure.
