If you plan to drive a commercial vehicle on Interstate 89 through Montpelier, you are required to perform a pre-trip inspection. This safety measure is crucial because it can alert you to any safety issues potentially leading to accidents or being stranded on the roadside. Checklists of the safety-related systems and components of your vehicle, such as the brakes, tires, mirrors, and taillights, are useful tools for completing the inspection. You should spend some time studying pre-trip inspections as part of your training for a Vermont Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). Once you begin driving with a Vermont Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), pre-trip inspections will be your responsibility. They are required by federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 before the vehicle is allowed to be driven on public roads.
Our Vermont DMV CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test teaches you the necessary details for conducting a pre-trip inspection. You must satisfy several requirements to earn a CLP, including passing the DMV CDL General Knowledge Test. A passing score for the official knowledge test is attained by answering 80% of the 20 questions correctly. The general knowledge test includes questions about pre-trip inspections. If you take the time to thoroughly learn the pre-trip inspection process, you will improve your chances of passing. Additionally, the practice test trains you in a simulated testing environment to prepare you for the actual experience.

Using this CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test, you will receive the most comprehensive instruction to expand your knowledge base and boost your confidence. You may think a study guide is equally capable of teaching you about pre-trip inspections, but the practice test uses a more thorough method. The practice test includes 20 multiple-choice questions, similar to those on the official knowledge test, to assess your understanding of pre-trip inspections and address your misconceptions. If you submit a wrong answer, the practice test will provide a detailed explanation of the correct one. You can rely on this explanation because it comes from the Vermont DMV CDL driver’s manual (Vermont CDL Handbook 2026) and is up to date as of January 2026. This manual is the most authoritative source on pre-trip inspections. A study guide does not offer information to correct your wrong answers. They just train you to memorize the answers to the questions. If you want more information, you’ll find yourself consulting other resources. The practice test saves you time and provides you with reliable information that you can use to drive safely.
