Is it necessary to study for the pre-trip walk around inspection to obtain a class C CDL?

I want to work for Fed-Ex. I know that I have to study the "general knowledge" and "hazardous materials" sections of the manual, but should I waste time on the pre-trip inspection part? Is it necessary to know that part to obtain a Class C Commercial Driver's License?

Yes, you will have to demonstrate to the officer, that you can complete the entire pre-trip. You are allowed to miss a few. The exact number, I am not sure of.





Trust me, the first time a steering box falls off your truck. You'll have wished you done one.
Reply:yes
Reply:It doesn't sound like a c. But if it is a commercial vehicle I would get a dmv book. Class A and B are different ball games.
Reply:Absolutely!!!! The pre-trip IS one of the most important parts of general knowledge. You will be required to identify and explain what each part does under the hood. Some DOT test officers will even go as far as to ask what you would do in the event that part fails..... perfectly within their right to do so too. Provided you pass the pretrip portion of the driving test, they then allow you to perform the skills test involving backing, turning and whatever else they would like you to demonstrate within the cone course. Now you will be able to take the driving portion of your test.





Keep in mind you will be spending a lot of time in that vehicle, knowing every part of it should become second nature to you. The best way to avoid a break down or accident is proper maintenance, which the pretrip encourages.
Reply:Yes I think u should take the pre trip because remember ur going to need to know alot.
Reply:If you are going to have to take a road test, then yes, you will have to do a pre-trip for the inspector.
