Sample Nebraska CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

After a tire blowout, the driver should immediately brake hard.

  1. A True
  2. B False

Correct answer: B – False

Hard braking after a blowout can cause a loss of control. Hold the steering wheel firmly and, unless a collision is imminent, stay off the brake while the vehicle slows. Once speed has decreased, brake gently, move off the road, and stop in a safe location.

Question 2

Which visibility equipment should be clean and operating properly during a vehicle inspection?

  1. A Reflectors and marker lights
  2. B Clearance lights and taillights
  3. C Identification lights
  4. D All of these

Correct answer: D – All of these

Commercial vehicle lights and reflectors help other road users detect the vehicle and understand its movements. Marker, clearance, identification, and tail lights must operate properly, while lenses and reflectors should be clean and undamaged. Dirt or defective equipment can reduce the vehicle’s visibility.

Question 3

Which conditions can contribute to a commercial vehicle fire?

  1. A Spilled fuel or unsafe use of flares
  2. B Smoking, improper fueling, or loose fuel connections
  3. C Flammable, poorly sealed, or poorly ventilated cargo
  4. D All of these

Correct answer: D – All of these

Spilled fuel and improper flare use can start a fire after a collision. Smoking, improper fueling, and loose fuel connections create additional ignition risks. Flammable cargo, damaged packaging, poor loading, and inadequate ventilation can also contribute to a vehicle fire, making every listed answer correct.

Question 4

When must a truck driver recheck cargo and its securement during a trip?

  1. A Within 25 miles, then every 2 hours or 100 miles
  2. B Only before departure and at the destination
  3. C Within the first 50 miles, then at a duty-status change or after 3 hours or 150 miles, whichever occurs first
  4. D Once at the end of each driving shift

Correct answer: C – Within the first 50 miles, then at a duty-status change or after 3 hours or 150 miles, whichever occurs first

Federal cargo-inspection rules require a check within the first 50 miles after beginning the trip. The load must then be reexamined at a change of duty status or after 3 hours or 150 miles, whichever occurs first. The Nebraska CDL manual teaches the same inspection sequence. Limited exceptions apply when a sealed load cannot be opened or its loading makes inspection impracticable.

Question 5

The same loading and unloading procedure may be used for every class of hazardous material.

  1. A True
  2. B False

Correct answer: B – False

Hazardous materials have handling procedures based on their particular properties and hazard classes. For example, explosives require precautions different from those used for flammable liquids, poisonous materials, or radioactive packages. Drivers must follow the procedures for the material being handled rather than using one method for every shipment.

Question 6

A B:C-rated fire extinguisher is intended for which fires?

  1. A Electrical-equipment and flammable-liquid fires
  2. B Wood, paper, and cloth fires only
  3. C Flammable-liquid fires only
  4. D Every fire, regardless of the burning material

Correct answer: A – Electrical-equipment and flammable-liquid fires

A B:C extinguisher is designed for Class B fires involving gasoline, oil, grease, and other flammable liquids, as well as Class C electrical-equipment fires. An A:B:C extinguisher also covers ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, and cloth. Water should not be used on electrical or gasoline fires.
