View All PlansAspiring commercial drivers should learn about pre-trip inspections before applying for a Rhode Island Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). Before obtaining a Rhode Island Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), commercial drivers must train with a CLP, and responsibly conducting pre-trip inspections is a vital part of the training. This safety measure is often conducted using a checklist of the important systems and components of the vehicle, such as the tires, brakes, taillights, and mirrors, to make sure they are safely operating. Pre-trip inspections are required by federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 before they may be driven on public roads. If you neglect to thoroughly perform the process, the chances of an accident or mechanical malfunction increase as you travel around Little Rhody.
If you’d like a little help to thoroughly learn the process, our Rhode Island DMV CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test provides expert instruction. Although you need to meet several requirements for a CLP, your ability to pass the DMV CDL General Knowledge Test will be key to your success. You must answer 80% of the 20 questions correctly to satisfy this requirement. The practice test offers comprehensive instruction to make sure you learn the crucial items to inspect and how to identify any deficiencies. By taking the time to study pre-trip inspections closely, you will be prepared to confidently answer any questions pertaining to them to increase your official knowledge test score.
The CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test uses the most reliable and authoritative information available to increase your proficiency in inspecting your vehicle. Its teaching method is interactive and caters to your current knowledge level. While you may find various on-line resources to teach you about pre-trip inspections, they fail to measure up to the details you’ll find using the practice test. The practice test is based on the most recent Rhode Island DMV CDL driver’s manual (Rhode Island CDL Handbook 2025) and up to date as of November 2025. Each of its 20 multiple-choice questions is designed to assess your current understanding of pre-trip inspections and fill your knowledge gaps. If you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test will respond with a detailed explanation of the correct one. Study guides will not go this far in teaching you. They train you to memorize the answers to the questions but fail to help you correct wrong answers with the applicable information. The practice test is the best way to thoroughly learn the information necessary for staying safe on the open road.
