A pre-trip inspection is a required safety check performed before operating a commercial vehicle on public roads. It ensures your vehicle is in safe working condition, meets legal requirements, and has no defects that could cause an accident or a breakdown. This procedure is required by law, as both federal and state laws require all commercial drivers to conduct a pre-trip inspection before they get behind the wheel. This inspection involves a walk-around procedure, which you should perform the same way every time to make it easier to remember.

The official Commercial Driver’s License Manual (Michigan CDL Handbook 2026) is the primary study resource for aspiring commercial drivers in Michigan. This handbook describes the various aspects of commercial driving theory. Section 11 (Vehicle Inspection) includes essential information, so you should read it multiple times during your learning phase.

26 Michigan residents are currently training with our practice tests. Such tools can make the difference between passing and failing your theory exams, giving you a significant advantage in your learning phase. You can access them on any compatible device, but you’ll need a stable internet connection. This Michigan CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test includes questions similar to those you will encounter on the official General Knowledge Exam. It is available in multiple languages, and you can select yours from the test settings menu.
