New Hampshire CDL Pre-Trip Inspection: Exterior Walkaround Test 2026

Walking the outside of the truck systematically is a skill, and the New Hampshire CDL pre-trip exterior walk-around test teaches you to do it without missing a thing. This 2026 drill covers tires, wheels, and lug nuts, the suspension and springs, brake components you can see, lights and reflectors, and the frame as you circle the vehicle.

You will review checking tire tread and inflation, looking for cracked wheels or loose lug nuts, inspecting shock absorbers and spring hangers, and confirming that mirrors, lights, and the exhaust are secure and sound. Performing this CDL pre-trip exterior walk-around in a consistent pattern is exactly what a New Hampshire examiner wants to see during the inspection test.

Since the precise walk-around checklist can vary, verify the items in your New Hampshire Commercial Driver's Manual before you rely on it. Drill this exterior walk-around set until the route around the truck is automatic, then continue rounding out your New Hampshire pre-trip inspection preparation.
