Commercial Driver's License: 06. Vehicle Inspections

Any time you drive, federal and state laws require you to inspect your vehicle before turning on the ignition. Inspection laws are critically important, because inspectors can put your vehicle out of service if you fail an inspection, so you can bet you'll be tested on this process. You'll also be tested on whether you can determine a vehicle's safety in the field. This skills test is part of your CDL exam. During the assessment, you'll be asked to do a vehicle inspection and to explain to your examiner what you would inspect, and why. This course is designed to get you prepared.
