What questions are on the cdl permit test

Most states will allow you to just walk-in and take your permit test without an appointment. You will need to check with your state DMV or licensing bureau on specific requirements for what kind of identification you need to bring.

At minimum, you will need to pass General Knowledge, Air Brakes, & Combination Vehicles tests to get your Commercial Learner's Permit.

If you fail the CLP test, you'll be allowed to take it again, and the rules vary by state. If you've worked through our High Road Training Program, though, that won't be an issue.

What do I need to bring with me to the CLP test?

The most important things to have with you are proofs of identity, citizenship status, and legal residency. The specific requirements may vary by state, but generally you must prove that you are either a citizen of the U.S. or here legally, are who you say you are, and are a resident of that state.

What areas will be covered on the Commercial Learner's Permit exam?

For just the basic learner's permit, there are 3 sections:

  • General Knowledge Test
  • Air Brakes Test
  • Combination Vehicles

Most states will allow you to take all of the additional endorsement tests, except for hazmat, at the same time as your general permit test.
