Free NV CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Exam 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

Federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 requires commercial drivers to conduct a pre-trip inspection of their vehicle before driving it on public roads. You will be tested on your knowledge of pre-trip inspections before you can obtain a Nevada Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). Pre-trip inspections help you identify any deficiencies in the systems and components of your vehicle that may present a safety hazard. You should inspect such items as the tires, brakes, battery, and windshield wipers before getting on the road. Being stranded on the “Loneliest Road in America” is not a thought anyone welcomes. However, if you take the time to inspect items that may contribute to accidents or mechanical malfunctions, you will remain in compliance with the law and identify any potential safety hazards.

Our Nevada DMV Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test offers expert instruction on the proper way to conduct this process to protect yourself from unfortunate mishaps. A CLP is required for you to begin training for your Nevada Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Although you need to meet additional requirements to obtain a CLP, you must pass the Nevada DMV CDL General Knowledge Test, which includes questions about pre-trip inspections. The practice test is designed to assist you in developing a firm understanding of pre-trip inspections. This knowledge will help you correctly answer 80% of the 20 questions on the official knowledge test (the required passing score).

If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information to learn, this CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test breaks down learning objectives with a manageable and informative approach. While study guides are popular, they don’t thoroughly prepare you to become well versed in pre-trip inspections. Their approach is to teach you to memorize the answers to the questions. You will be less likely to retain the information for daily application with this method. In comparison, the practice test provides you with reliable information that firmly grounds your knowledge. The practice test is based on the most recent Nevada DMV CDL driver’s manual (Nevada CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of November 2025 With its 20 multiple-choice questions, the practice test helps you assess your readiness to answer questions about pre-trip inspections and fill your knowledge gaps. If you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test will provide a detailed explanation of the correct one. Using this information, you can take the first step in preserving your safety wherever you travel.
