Federal and state laws mandate pre-trip inspections for all commercial drivers in the United States. These inspections ensure that commercial vehicles are in safe operating condition before they are driven on public roads. They are the most effective way for a driver to identify mechanical issues, such as brake malfunctions, problems with the steering system, and faulty lights. You must also check the seat belts, wipers, mirrors, and emergency equipment, among other things.
You can find more information about this subject in the official Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Handbook (Texas CDL Handbook 2026), which includes a section about the vehicle inspection (Section 11). You should read its contents at least once, and when you’re ready, you can use our Texas CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Tests to evaluate your knowledge. Now you’re about to train with the second practice test in this series. It includes questions similar to those you will encounter on the official General Knowledge Exam. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct.
Use our free CDL pre-trip inspection checklist to prepare for the hands-on exam.

Texas residents use our practice tests to improve their knowledge through active learning. This week alone, they completed 4,426 training sessions.

Whether you prefer to use a smartphone or a personal computer, you can access them on any compatible device that supports a browser.
You can train with our practice tests as often as you wish, but we recommend taking frequent breaks to prevent digital eye strain. Adjust the screen brightness to your liking, and use the font size slider in the test settings menu to make the text larger and easier to read.
