Sample Wyoming CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

If oncoming headlights create glare at night, where should you direct your eyes?

  1. A. Slightly right, toward the right lane or edge marking
  2. B. Toward the left edge of the roadway
  3. C. Directly along the centerline
  4. D. At the oncoming headlights

Correct answer: A. – Slightly right, toward the right lane or edge marking

Do not look directly into the headlights of an approaching vehicle. Look slightly to the right toward the right lane or an edge marking, if one is available. This reduces the effect of glare while helping you maintain your position on the roadway. Do not respond to high beams by switching on your own high beams.

Question 2

When choosing a safe speed for a Wyoming mountain downgrade, which factors must you consider?

  1. A. The total weight of the vehicle and cargo
  2. B. The grade’s length and steepness
  3. C. Road and weather conditions
  4. D. All of these factors

Correct answer: D. – All of these factors

A safe downgrade speed depends on the vehicle and cargo weight, the length and steepness of the grade, and current road and weather conditions. A heavier vehicle or a longer, steeper grade can increase speed more rapidly. Select a safe speed and low gear before starting down the grade, using the engine’s braking effect as the primary means of speed control.

Question 3

Which of the following should a commercial driver recognize as a potential hazard?

  1. A. A delivery truck with activity around it
  2. B. A stopped bus with passengers nearby
  3. C. A disabled vehicle beside the roadway
  4. D. All of these

Correct answer: D. – All of these

Delivery trucks may block sight lines, and their drivers may enter traffic unexpectedly. People near a stopped bus may cross where they cannot see approaching vehicles. Disabled vehicles are also hazards because people may be working close to moving traffic. Recognizing these clues early gives you more time to slow down or adjust your position safely.

Question 4

Which schedule correctly states when cargo and its securement must be rechecked during a trip?

  1. A. Within 25 miles, then every 100 miles or two hours
  2. B. Within 50 miles, then only at fuel stops
  3. C. Within 50 miles, after a duty-status change, and after three hours or 150 miles, whichever comes first
  4. D. Only before departure and after arrival

Correct answer: C. – Within 50 miles, after a duty-status change, and after three hours or 150 miles, whichever comes first

Federal rules require the cargo and its securement to be inspected within the first 50 miles after beginning the trip. The driver must inspect again when changing duty status and after driving three hours or 150 miles, whichever occurs first. Any necessary adjustments must be made to keep the cargo properly secured throughout transportation.

Question 5

Which list identifies the emergency equipment categories generally required on a CMV power unit?

  1. A. Flashlight, tire gauge, and tire-sealant foam
  2. B. First-aid kit, gauze, and pain reliever
  3. C. Properly rated fire extinguisher, spare fuses if used, and warning devices
  4. D. Cellphone, wheel chock, and portable hazard light

Correct answer: C. – Properly rated fire extinguisher, spare fuses if used, and warning devices

Federal equipment rules generally require a properly rated and secured fire extinguisher, warning devices such as three reflective triangles, and spare fuses when the vehicle uses replaceable fuses. Spare fuses are not required for circuits protected by resettable circuit breakers. The equipment must be available and in usable condition during the vehicle inspection.

Question 6

All hazardous materials may be loaded and unloaded using the same procedures.

  1. A. TRUE
  2. B. FALSE

Correct answer: B. – FALSE

Federal hazardous-materials requirements include procedures that vary according to the material being handled. Rules involving smoking, cargo heaters, closed cargo spaces, attendance, and special loading methods apply differently to particular hazard classes. Drivers must identify the material and follow the procedures applicable to that shipment rather than using one method for every hazardous material.
