On exam day, you must complete a thorough pre-trip inspection in under 30 minutes. An examiner will score your performance based on how accurately you identify and explain safety components such as brakes, tires, lights, the steering mechanism, and emergency equipment. You can find more information about the pre-trip inspection in the official Commercial Driver License Manual (Ohio CDL Handbook 2026), specifically Section 11 (Vehicle Inspection). This section also includes a checklist you can use during your CDL skills tests. However, you are not allowed to place additional markings or writing on the list.
Our Ohio CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Tests can help you master this procedure. They are available online, and you can access them on any compatible device. Now you’re about to take the second practice test in this series, which includes questions similar to those you will encounter at the BMV office. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. We provide immediate feedback with every question to help you build a strong foundation of knowledge. Please pay attention to the detailed explanation and note it in a notebook or notebook app for future reference.
