A pre-trip inspection of your commercial vehicle is required by federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 and is important for protecting your passengers or cargo, fellow motorists, and yourself. Commercial vehicles are not allowed to travel on public roads until this inspection is completed. If you plan to drive through the Wasatch Mountains on Highway 6, you want to be sure your vehicle is operating safely. Using a checklist that includes the main systems and components of your vehicle, such as the battery, tires, mirror, and headlights, can alert you to any safety issues that could lead to accidents or strand you on the road. During your training to apply for a Utah Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), you should spend some time studying pre-trip inspections. You will find spending this time beneficial to earning a Utah Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
Our Utah DMV CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test helps you learn how to conduct this safety measure. You will learn in a simulated testing environment that assesses your current knowledge level and tracks your progress. This approach is useful in preparing to pass the DMV CDL General Knowledge Test, which is one of the few requirements for a CLP. The official knowledge test requires you to answer 80% of the 20 questions correctly to earn a passing score. You will improve your chances of meeting this requirement by becoming proficient in pre-trip inspections because you will see questions about them on the official knowledge test.

Although you will find various on-line resources to teach you about pre-trip inspections, this CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test uses the most reliable and authoritative information. It is a comprehensive method that supports expanding your knowledge base in a time-efficient way. The practice test contains 20 multiple-choice questions, similar to those on the official knowledge test, to assess your understanding of pre-trip inspections and correct your misconceptions. If you get a question wrong, the practice test will provide a detailed explanation of the correct answer. This information comes from the Utah DMV CDL driver’s manual (Utah CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of December 2025. In comparison, study guides will limit your learning potential by training you to memorize the answers to the questions. Unless you can understand the reasoning behind the answers, you will not be thoroughly prepared for the official knowledge test. The practice test will equip you with the information and confidence to answer pre-trip inspection questions correctly. Safe travels are too important to settle for anything less than the practice test.
