The CDL test is a series of exams designed to assess the knowledge and skills of individuals seeking to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in the United States. The test is administered by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a similar licensing agency in each state. Here are the key components of the CDL test:

Written Knowledge Test: This test evaluates your understanding of commercial driving rules, regulations, and best practices. It typically consists of multiple-choice questions covering topics such as traffic laws, vehicle inspection, safe driving techniques, and cargo handling. The number of questions and passing score may vary by state.

General Skills Test: This portion of the test assesses your basic control and maneuvering skills. It includes a pre-trip inspection where you demonstrate your ability to inspect your vehicle for safety and operational issues. Additionally, you will be tested on basic vehicle control, such as straight-line backing, parallel parking, and maneuvering through a cone course.

On-Road Driving Test: The on-road test evaluates your ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle in real traffic situations. A licensed examiner will assess your driving skills, including your ability to perform various maneuvers, obey traffic laws, use proper signaling, and respond appropriately to road conditions.
