Officer is asking Trip

“Where did this trip start, and where are you taking it?”

I started in Fresno, California this morning and I am taking it to Phoenix, Arizona.

Two ways to get MockStop

Practice on your own — or get a seat from your school or employer.

Same app, same training. The only difference is who pays.

For drivers

You pay, or it is free

For organizations

Your school or carrier pays

In a CDL school, or driving for a fleet? Ask them for a MockStop seat. They pay — and your account and your progress stay yours if you leave.

How it works for organizations
How MockStop works

Not just a score. A way to get better.

A number on its own tells you nothing you can act on. MockStop finds the skill that let you down, practises it, then asks again to see whether it moved.

01

Practice

An officer asks. You answer out loud, in English, the way you would at the roadside.

02

Get feedback

What you got across, what you did not, and which words let you down — with the evidence.

03

Train the weak skill

Five minutes on the one thing that cost you, not a general lesson you have heard before.

04

Retest it

A stop that asks only about that skill, so you find out whether the training worked.

The questions

97 real questions across 10 categories.

Straight from the bank the app uses. Every one is a sentence a driver has to understand first and answer second.

Trip Good afternoon, driver. Where are you coming from today?
License Do you have any restrictions on your license?
Cargo How is your load secured?
Papers Are you hauling any hazardous materials?
Hours Can you transfer your electronic logs to me?
Equipment Did you find any defects on your pre-trip?
Instruction Before you go — do you understand everything I have told you?
Signs Here is a sign. What is the limit it is giving you?

Two of these are not questions at all. “Pull forward into the inspection bay, set your brakes and stay in the cab” is three instructions in one sentence, and getting it wrong looks like non-compliance rather than a language problem.

Train for real situations

Every kind of stop, practiced separately.

Being ready at the roadside is not the same as knowing what to do inside a scale house, so the two are never averaged together.

Roadside stop

Documents, trip, cargo, hours of service, signs and the instructions an officer gives you at the window.

Weigh station

The scale, the bay, the inspection building — and the commands that come with them, which are the part drivers report finding hardest.

25 road signs, and what to do about each one

Readiness

Know where you stand — stop by stop.

Six skills, measured separately, so you know whether the problem is hearing the officer or finding the words.

  • Being misheard never counts against you. A noisy yard is not a wrong answer, and it is reported separately from your score.
  • Answering in your own language is never marked wrong. At a real stop the officer would ask again. So does MockStop.
  • A skill you have not practised reads “Not assessed”. Never zero. Not having started is not the same as doing badly.
For schools & fleets

Know who’s ready before they hit the road.

Buy seats, hand them out, and see who needs another hour. Every driver flagged for attention comes with the reason and the evidence.

Seats, not licences to chase

Add a driver by phone number. There is no code for them to type and no link to lose — the seat is theirs the moment they sign in.

Readiness by scenario

Roadside and weigh station, kept apart. An unpractised scenario reads – Not assessed, never 0%.

Attention needed, explained

“Three targeted retests and their best score has not moved.” A date, a count, a score — never a hidden risk rating.

For drivers

You know the job. Practice the conversation.

Privately, at your own pace, as many times as you want — before the roadside is the first time you have it.

Nobody is watching

No class, no instructor, no one in the cab. Get it wrong as many times as it takes.

Help in your language

English, Spanish, Punjabi, Russian, Hindi or Uzbek. The officer only ever speaks English, because that is the part being checked.

Your voice is never recorded

The recogniser runs on your phone. MockStop receives the words, never the audio.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this an official test?

No. MockStop is practice. Readiness is a training indicator, not an official English proficiency assessment, and it does not predict any inspection result.

Do you record my voice?

No. The recogniser runs on your phone and MockStop receives the words, never the audio. There is no column, no file and no request that could carry a recording.

If my school pays, do they own my account?

No. A seat is added access, not replaced access. If they take the seat back you keep every stop you practised, and anything you pay for yourself is untouched.

What can my employer see?

Your readiness, your skill scores, how many stops you have taken and when you last practised. Not your audio, and not a transcript of what you said.

When do the 90 days start?

The day you buy the licence. All your seats run to the same end date, which is the one on your invoice — so “when does this run out” has one answer rather than one per student.

Inside the term you can reassign seats as often as you like. A student who finishes in week six frees their seat for somebody else for the remaining six. If you enrol on a rolling basis, buy a term per intake rather than buying ahead — a seat handed out on day 85 is worth five days, and we would rather say so here than have you find out.

The roadside shouldn’t be the first time you practice the conversation.
