Which inspection type is described as including a driver and vehicle examination lasting about 45 to 60 minutes?

• A. Level I
• B. Driver inspection
• C. Walk-around inspection
• D. Special inspection

Answer: (A)

Level I refers to the North American Standard inspection, the most thorough CDL check. It includes both the driver and the vehicle, covering in-cab verification, credentials, hours, and a full vehicle inspection along with required paperwork. Because it combines so many elements—driver checks and a complete vehicle inspection—it typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes. The walk-around inspection focuses mainly on exterior checks and is generally shorter, not including the in-cab and documentation review. A driver inspection alone is too vague, and a special inspection is used for specific situations rather than a standard thorough review. So, the examination that includes both driver and vehicle and lasts around 45–60 minutes is Level I.
