Additional CDL Requirements

Keep in mind that this is not the only requirement for obtaining a CDL. You must also pass a written CDL test. This general knowledge exam is based on information contained in the commercial license manual. After studying, you'll also want to take a CDL practice test. CDL practice exams feature questions similar to those found on the actual exam, serving as an extremely effective study tool. 

After passing the written test, you'll next need to focus on the driving test. This consists of three sections: pre trip inspection, driving skills, and the road test. You will need an appointment for this exam.
