If you’re planning on getting a North Dakota Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), you should not neglect the importance of learning about pre-trip inspections. Pre-trip inspections are important in preventing accidents and identifying potential vehicle mechanical issues. Additionally, federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 requires commercial drivers to complete a pre-trip inspection to verify the safety of their vehicles before driving on public roads. A thorough pre-trip inspection involves using a checklist to verify the main components and systems of the vehicle, such as the battery, brakes, tires, and taillights, meet safety standards. Any defects in these parts could lead to accidents or breakdowns in heavily trafficked areas, such as Interstate 94 in Bismarck. A professional driver doesn’t leave the safety of their cargo, fellow motorists, or themself to chance.
Our North Dakota DOT CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test provides valuable instruction to teach you the pre-trip inspection process. Before you can apply for a North Dakota Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), you will use your CLP to develop your driving skills, and safety should be at the top of your list. There are several requirements for obtaining a CLP, and one of the main ones is passing the DOT CDL General Knowledge Test. You must answer 80% of its 20 questions correctly to earn a passing score. Considering pre-trip inspections are crucial to driving safety, you can expect to see several questions pertaining to them on the official knowledge test. The practice test is particularly helpful in teaching you the details of this safety measure by mimicking the actual testing experience. Additionally, unlike other on-line resources, the practice test will provide you with feedback on your progress.

The CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test uses the most authoritative source available to teach you how to conduct the process. It is based on the most recent North Dakota DOT CDL driver’s manual (North Dakota CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of December 2025. The practice test includes 20 multiple-choice questions to direct you in expanding your knowledge of pre-trip inspections. If you get a question wrong, the practice test will provide you with a detailed explanation of the correct answer to reinforce your understanding. You won’t find a study guide engaging with you in such a manner. Study guides will teach you to memorize the answers to the questions without providing additional information. This approach is a short-term solution that won’t completely prepare you for the official knowledge test and, even worse, could lead to accidents on your job. The practice test will elevate your driving skills with next-level training for protecting yourself over the long haul.
