UT CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
Based on 2025 UT commercial driver's license manual
Triple-checked for accuracy
Updated for April 2025

To obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), you must pass the General Knowledge Exam and all three parts of the CDL skills test: pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control, and on-road driving. Failing the General Knowledge Exam results in a one-day waiting period and a retest fee. The CDL Skills Test assesses your ability to operate a commercial vehicle safely. A Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) is required before taking the skills test and is valid for 180 days with one allowed renewal. The CLP allows supervised driving practice, but you cannot obtain a full CDL until you pass all three parts of the skills test within the permit’s validity period. This federally mandated test (regulated under 49 CFR § 392.7 and 49 CFR § 396.13) ensures drivers can identify and evaluate critical vehicle components to prevent breakdowns and accidents. Unlike some other states, Utah only offers testing in English. If you fail any portion of the skills test, you fail the entire test and must retake that section.
Our Utah CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Practice Tests cover all necessary pre-trip inspection topics, ensuring drivers are prepared for that part of the skills test. Many states have a single pre-trip inspection format; however, Utah requires different versions depending on the vehicle type. Some states allow adjusted testing methods for drivers with disabilities; however, Utah explicitly prohibits modified tests.
A thorough understanding of Utah’s Seven-Step Inspection Method is essential for passing the pre-trip inspection test. This test evaluates a driver’s ability to properly inspect the vehicle’s engine compartment, cab controls, lights, tires, brakes, suspension, and cargo securement. In addition to the questions on the General Knowledge Test covering these topics, you must physically point to, touch, and name each component during your pre-trip inspection test, explaining why it is being inspected and its operational condition. Your examiner must determine that you can properly evaluate and confirm each part’s working condition.
Taking our practice tests is an effective way to prepare for the pre-trip inspection section of the General Knowledge Exam. Our multiple-choice prompts include a detailed explanation after each response, speeding learning. Based on the most recent version of the Utah CDL manual (Utah CDL Handbook 2025), these 20 tests ensure you understand key concepts.
