CDL General Knowledge Questions and
Answers Rated A+

What should you do if you see a hazard ahead while driving?


✔✔ If you see a hazard ahead, slow down, signal early, and use your horn or lights to alert other

drivers if necessary.




Why is it important to conduct a pre-trip inspection?


✔✔ A pre-trip inspection ensures that the truck is safe to operate by identifying any issues with

critical components such as brakes, tires, and lights.




How does the weight of a vehicle affect its stopping distance?


✔✔ Heavier vehicles take longer to stop because the increased weight requires more braking

force to slow down or stop the vehicle.




What is the purpose of an engine brake or retarder?


✔✔ An engine brake or retarder helps slow the vehicle down without using the service brakes,

reducing wear on the braking system and improving safety on downhill grades.

✔✔ Proper tire inflation improves fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances vehicle

handling and safety.




What are the key things to check during a post-trip inspection?


✔✔ During a post-trip inspection, check for any damage, leaks, tire condition, and ensure that

lights, brakes, and other systems are still functioning properly.




How should you handle a truck in the event of a skid?


✔✔ If your truck begins to skid, steer in the direction you want to go, avoid braking hard, and

gently counter-steer to regain control.
