OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this exam is to determine the ability of drivers to locate information and become familiar with the rules contained in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), and to understand the standard duties expected of professional truck drivers. All of the questions are based on the United States Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Each question has multiple answers, but only one is right. Your job is to read all of the answers and then to pick the one answer you believe is right. Each question references the regulation number or asks you to identify the appropriate regulation. The questions and problems include a strong focus on technical aspects of equipment, regulatory compliance, and the safe operating practices required of truck drivers. This written examination is designed as an instructional tool. It is very difficult to achieve a good score without the use of reference material. Therefore, prior to, and during the examination, you may consult the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations book.
