All CDL Applicants

All CDL applicants will first need to get their CLP (Commercial Learner’s Permit) by passing the General Knowledge Exam.

After that, the other tests you’ll need to take will depend on what type of CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle) you want to drive and what kind of job you want.

Once you pass your tests, you’ll receive your CLP. This will allow you to enroll in truck driver training school in preparation for your behind-the-wheel exam.

Testing & Endorsements

For many CDL employers, the minimum tests and endorsements required include General Knowledge, Combination Vehicles, and Air Brakes.

If you plan to transport liquids, gasses, or hazardous materials, you’ll need to think about the Hazmat Endorsement Test and Tanker Vehicles Test.

To transport passengers or drive a school bus, study for the Passenger Test or School Bus Endorsement Test.
