Pre-Trip Drill

CDL skills test, part one

Practice to pass the pre-trip inspection the first time.

Say the walk-around out loud, section by section, for your state. The app listens and tells you what you skipped.

  • Class A and Class B
  • Air brake test, in order
  • Your state's test format
  • Printable checklist, free

Launching on iPhone in November 2026. Not affiliated with any DMV or FMCSA.

Most pre-trip fails are not knowledge. They are sequence and silence.

Students know the parts. They go quiet under a component, skip a step of the air brake test, or freeze when the examiner assigns a section they did not rehearse. Rehearsing out loud fixes that.

1

Say it out loud

Each card shows the part and what to check. You say it. On-device speech recognition flags the key words you missed. No internet needed in the yard.

2

Your state's test

Some states run the updated skills test where the examiner assigns a section; others still test the full walk-around. The app shows which applies to you, with the manual link.

3

Examiner mode

The app picks a section at random and times you, like test day. Weak cards come back until they stick. Air brake test steps in the required order, every time.

Every section of the Class A walk-around

Built from the public CDL manual structure, not from anyone's memorized script. Class B (straight truck and bus) follows in the first update.

One price. No subscription.

You use this app for four to eight weeks, then you have your CDL. A monthly plan makes no sense for that, so there is none.

  • Engine compartment section and the printable checklist stay free
  • Full app: all sections, speech feedback, examiner mode, state formats
  • Spanish-language cards for practicing the English phrases
  • School and instructor codes available

Questions

Is this the official test?

No. This is an independent study aid. Your state's CDL manual and your examiner's instructions are the source of truth. Every state page links the manual section it was built from.

Does it work in Spanish?

The skills test is given in English. The app offers Spanish explanations so you can practice the English phrases the examiner expects to hear.

What if I reserve and change my mind?

Reply "refund" to any email, before or after launch, and the $6.99 goes back to your card the same day. No questions.

Android?

iPhone first. Join the waitlist and pick "Not sure yet" for class; we will ask about Android in the launch email.
