All commercial drivers are required to perform a pre-trip inspection at the start of their shift. You must ensure your vehicle is in working condition before you get behind the wheel. The pre-trip inspection involves a walk-around procedure, which you should perform the same way every time to make it easier to remember. You will check the tires, emergency equipment, seatbelts, headlights, and turn signals, among other things. This procedure is discussed in the official Commercial Driver’s License Manual (New York CDL Handbook 2026), specifically Section 11 (Vehicle Inspection).
Our New York CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Tests include multiple-choice questions on this procedure. You can use them to evaluate your knowledge before exam day. Mistakes become learning opportunities thanks to the detailed explanation provided for each question. Now you’re about to take the second practice test in this series. With unlimited attempts and nonstop browser-based access, there’s no limit to how often you can train with this tool.

You can activate the voice-over function from the test settings menu located in the top-right corner of the page. This feature uses an artificial voice to read each question and answer choices aloud, making it easier for you to pay attention. Use it to increase your focus in distracting environments where distractions are more likely to pull your attention away from the screen. However, it is crucial to be aware of your surroundings at all times.
This practice test can be accessed on any compatible device. Whether you prefer to use a computer or a smartphone, you’ll enjoy a seamless testing experience optimized for your device. Because our practice tests are browser-based, you’ll need a stable internet connection to use them.
As you begin your learning phase, you should develop an optimized study routine. Stay organized by scheduling daily practice and reviewing your mistakes as soon as they occur. You can also check out our Free New York CDL Permit Practice Test, which will help you master general commercial driving theory.
