Fuel is a big part of the operating costs of a truck. Incorrect wheel alignment, improper tyre pressure and the wrong type of tyres increase fuel consumption unnecessarily. How much can the correct settings and optimal tyres reduce fuel cost in a year?

Welcome to the theory test


Your first challenge is waiting for you.

As a truck driver there are many things you need to master along with your driving skills. Your first step in the competition is to prove your theoretical skills regarding different aspects of truck driving. The theory test is a step by step questionnaire form consisting of 30 questions. The majority of the questions are multiple choice and in a couple of questions you will be asked to arrange a series of statements in the right order by dragging them into place. 

You can always step back and change an answer at any time. If you for any reason don’t complete all the questions at once, you can always continue the test at a later time and pick up where you left off automatically.

 

Please note that once you confirm your answers, it’s final, and there is no going back.

 

Good luck!
