LA CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test 2025

Louisiana’s frequent rainstorms and floods and the mediocre quality of many of its roads continue to challenge drivers. Interstate 10, a critical east-west freight corridor, is one of the most hazardous. I-10 has several low-lying areas. Despite some infrastructure improvements, these areas are still susceptible to flooding in hurricanes and heavy rainstorms. Also, on I-10, damaged shoulders, potholes, and bridges with narrow lanes make driving more hazardous. Finally, speeding is common on this highway.
No matter what kind of vehicle you’re driving, it’s wise to check it over before driving on a potentially hazardous road. In fact, federal regulation 49 CFR § 396.13 requires you to be satisfied that your Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) is safe to drive before you drive it on public roads. This means conducting a comprehensive pre-trip inspection before your first trip of the day in that vehicle.
The official Louisiana CDL manual (Louisiana CDL Handbook 2025) discusses pre-trip inspections in detail. The official General Knowledge Test, which you must pass to become a commercial driver, likely contains some questions on pre-trip inspections. All questions on the General Knowledge Test are based on the official CDL manual. You should study the manual, but many drivers have found it hard to learn from.
Our practice tests can help you grasp and memorize all that information. This Louisiana CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test, the first of several we offer, will help you master the material on pre-trip inspections in the official CDL manual and ace those questions on the General Knowledge Test.
Like the official knowledge test, this practice test is multiple choice. Each question comes with several answer options. You must choose the best or most complete answer. Our AI assistant comes with each question. It can help you learn by supplying hints and answering your own questions about commercial driving theory. If you still miss a question, the AI assistant will immediately let you know and provide an explanation of the correct answer. This immediate response will help you memorize the correct answer and its rationale.
To obtain a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you must pass a three-part skills test: pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control, and on-road driving. You’ll conduct a pre-trip inspection of a CMV as you explain your actions to your test examiner. The knowledge of pre-trip inspections you’ll gain from these practice tests will also be helpful as you practice pre-trip inspections to prepare for the skills test.
