Sample Wyoming CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

During a pre-trip inspection, which wheel or rim condition can indicate a safety problem?

  1. A Rust trails around wheel nuts
  2. B A cracked rim that has been welded
  3. C Missing studs that do not affect appearance
  4. D Different lock-ring types on the same wheel

Correct answer: A – Rust trails around wheel nuts

Rust trails around wheel nuts can indicate that the nuts are loose and require a tightness check. The Wyoming CDL manual also identifies missing clamps, spacers, studs, or lugs and mismatched, bent, or cracked lock rings as dangerous. Wheels or rims repaired by welding are not considered safe.

____________ signs inform drivers of basic highway information.
  1. A Parking signs
  2. B Guide signs
  3. C Regulatory signs
  4. D Warning signs

Correct answer: B – Guide signs

Guide signs provide information used for navigation, including routes, destinations, directions, distances, services, and points of interest. Regulatory signs give notice of traffic laws, while warning signs alert drivers to conditions that might not be readily apparent. The correct classification is guide signs.

Question 3

Which item is not included in the standard emergency-equipment check for a general commercial vehicle?

  1. A A properly charged and rated fire extinguisher
  2. B Spare electrical fuses, unless circuit breakers are used
  3. C A first-aid kit
  4. D Emergency warning triangles

Correct answer: C – A first-aid kit

The Wyoming CDL manual’s general pre-trip list includes a properly charged and rated fire extinguisher, warning devices, and spare electrical fuses unless the vehicle uses circuit breakers. Federal equipment rules establish these general requirements for power units. A first-aid kit is not included in that standard general equipment list.

Question 4

A yellow diamond sign shows a vertical roadway with a short road joining from the right. What does it warn you about?

This sign warns drivers to _____________.
  1. A A one-way street begins to the right
  2. B Traffic can approach only from the left
  3. C A side road enters from the right
  4. D A reverse turn begins ahead

Correct answer: C – A side road enters from the right

This symbol is the Side Road intersection warning sign. It indicates an intersection ahead and the possibility of vehicles turning or entering from the road shown on the symbol. The version with the short line on the right represents a side road entering from the right in Wyoming and elsewhere.

Question 5

After an emergency move onto a clear shoulder, what should you do before returning to the roadway?

  1. A Remain on the shoulder until stopped, if possible, then check and signal before reentering
  2. B Brake hard and immediately steer back onto the pavement
  3. C Turn sharply onto the pavement while applying maximum braking
  4. D Maintain your speed and gradually edge back onto the pavement

Correct answer: A – Remain on the shoulder until stopped, if possible, then check and signal before reentering

If the shoulder is clear, remain there until the vehicle has stopped. Before pulling back onto the road, signal and check your mirrors for traffic. If circumstances force you to return before stopping, the manual gives a separate steer-countersteer procedure rather than recommending that you gradually edge onto the pavement.

Question 6

In commercial driving, which description best defines a hazard?

  1. A Any road condition or road user that presents a possible danger
  2. B Only an object lying in the travel lane
  3. C Only something that completely blocks the roadway
  4. D An event whose outcome depends entirely on chance

Correct answer: A – Any road condition or road user that presents a possible danger

A hazard is any road condition or road user—such as a driver, bicyclist, or pedestrian—that presents a possible danger. A hazard does not have to block the road or create an immediate emergency. Recognizing it early gives the driver more time to prepare and respond safely.
