#1. When stopped on a hill, what is the proper procedure to start moving without rolling back?
Partly engage the clutch before you take your right foot off the brake is correct
This practice test touches on different aspects of truck driving, trucking safety equipment and proper procedures. This is an unofficial practice test and the questions and answers are similar to but not the same as those you’ll see on your official written state CDL license test.
Next test: HAZMAT practice test
Reference:
- Online CDL manual
- All CDL practice tests – includes a much longer general knowledge test
