All aspiring commercial drivers must complete ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) as part of the licensing process. This requirement applies to drivers in all 50 U.S. states, including North Carolina. You must complete this training before you can schedule and take your CDL skills tests, which is the final step before you get your CDL (Commercial Driver’s License). Many consider the pre-trip inspection test the hardest part of the CDL skills test. You must memorize every step of the vehicle inspection and perform it correctly in front of the examiner.
The official Commercial Driver License Manual (North Carolina CDL Handbook 2026) includes more information about this procedure. You should read Section 11 (Vehicle Inspection) at least once, and when you’re ready, you can use our North Carolina CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Tests to boost your learning potential. This intuitive tool is available online, 24/7. All you need to access it is a compatible device and a stable internet connection.
Use our free CDL pre-trip inspection checklist to prepare for the hands-on exam.
