3rd Party Pre-Hire Road Tests

Looking for a trusted partner to handle your pre-hire road testing?
CL Driving School offers third-party road tests for trucking companies that need a reliable, DOT-compliant solution. Whether you’re hiring new drivers or re-evaluating current ones, our experienced evaluators and flexible scheduling make the process simple, professional, and stress-free.

Our Pre-Hire Road Test Includes:

Pre-Trip Inspection
We evaluate a candidate’s ability to perform a full vehicle inspection, checking essential systems such as brakes, lights, tires, steering, and emergency equipment — ensuring a safety-first mindset from the start.

Coupling & Uncoupling Procedures
We assess how well the driver connects and disconnects trailers, including air and electrical line setup, brake charging, and proper locking procedures.

Driving Assessment
Our certified evaluators observe real-world driving skills — lane changes, signal usage, speed control, turning accuracy, and more — to gauge overall road readiness.

Backing Maneuvers
We test precision and control through key backing scenarios, often overlooked in hiring processes but critical on the job.

Low-Speed Maneuvering Course
Tight turns? Docking? We simulate real yard conditions to assess low-speed handling and spatial awareness.

Driver Behavior & Safety Protocols
Our evaluators monitor shifting techniques, mirror checks, turn lane usage, and adherence to compliance and safety regulations.
