Free NE CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Exam 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
  • Based on 2025 NE commercial driver's license manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for September 2025

Before driving their vehicles on public roads, commercial drivers are required by federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 to conduct a pre-trip inspection to verify their operational safety. A checklist of the vital systems and components of the vehicle, such as the brakes, engine, mirrors, and taillights, is a useful tool in ensuring a thorough inspection is completed. Your ability to perform pre-trip inspections is critical for identifying any safety hazards. As you prepare to obtain your Nebraska Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), you should be aware that you will need to exhibit your knowledge of pre-trip inspections. If you plan on driving Interstate 80 through Omaha, you want to make sure you are protecting your cargo, fellow motorists, and yourself from costly accidents or mechanical malfunctions.

Once you get your CLP, you may begin training for your Nebraska Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) skills test, which includes pre-trip inspections. Although you will need to meet several requirements for the CLP, an important one is passing the DMV CDL General Knowledge Test. Questions about pre-trip inspections are part of the official knowledge test, and you want to be certain you can confidently answer them correctly. The official knowledge test requires you to answer 80% of the 20 questions correctly to achieve a passing grade. Our Nebraska DMV CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test trains you in a simulated testing environment that helps you thoroughly learn the process.

This CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test offers the most comprehensive instruction available to enhance your knowledge and correct your misconceptions. While you may find many on-line resources, you can depend on this practice test for reliable information to support your success. The practice test uses an interactive method that provides feedback on your learning progress. It includes 20 multiple-choice questions, similar to those on the official knowledge test, to assess your knowledge of pre-trip inspections. If you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test will provide a detailed explanation of the correct one. This information is taken directly from the Nebraska DMV CDL driver’s manual (Nebraska CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of September 2025. Although study guides are a popular study resource, they fail to provide this type of instruction. With a study guide, you are limiting your learning potential to merely memorizing the answers to the questions while not understanding the logic behind them. If you want to prioritize your safety, the practice test sets a high standard that the other available on-line resources can’t reach.

Just as Rosenblatt Stadium had seen its fair share of home runs, you can expect to knock it out of the park with practice tests for other U.S. states and Washington D.C. at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
