CDL Written Test
Topic 6653 | Page 1
Hello, I was wondering how hard the CDL written test is. The reason why I ask is because I have dyslexia and my spelling is bad because of that.
There are CDL Practice Tests available to view on this site that should help you determine how difficult a time you will have. Also, though I myself am only about 1/5 of the way through it, I find the High Road Training Program to be a very useful tool for studying up for the test.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Hello, I was wondering how hard the CDL written test is. The reason why I ask is because I have dyslexia and my spelling is bad because of that.
I strongly recommend the High Road Training Program on this site and get a copy of your state CDL Handbook form your DMV. That is all I used and i passed with only missing two questions. Take the practice exams and the quiz at the end of each page and you should have no problem. Make sure you fully understand the questions and the materials presented. There may be some minor differences between your state and this program but you will quickly recognize AFTER you complete the High Road program first. Take your time and repeat areas that you are struggling with until you can successfully pass them Keep the material fresh in you mind and review prior material as you go through the program. Brett setup the program so that there are review questions mixed in with the current material reviews. and once you take the exams go back and do the logbook and weights and balance sections. Very important and will better prepare you for your training. There are several testimonials on this site about taking this program and being ahead of most when they arrive for training. Get ahead as much as possible and it will make your life alot easier and less stressful. Good luck to you.

Mark, the only thing you seem to do is link stupid YouTube videos.
How do you expect to succeed in a profession that you know nothing about because you don't know the material? Getting your permit is great and all, but when you're out there on your own you need to have knowledge of your equipment.
Studying these videos that only give the answers doesn't benefit you in any way. In fact, you're actually crippling yourself in the long run.
And believe me, I know all about it. When I went to school they didn't hand us any books or study guides - they handed us a piece of paper with answers. They told us to just memorize the answers and that's what we did. We didn't learn anything and we shot ourselves in the foot without knowing it.
When I went solo I was completely clueless. I had my license and aced my permit, but I didn't have the knowledge that I needed to know to be a safe driver.
That's exactly why you should study our High Road Training Program. Youll actually learn...
Honestly I feel for you. If you're just trying to cheat your way through then good luck because you're going to need it. And to everyone else - let's be professional adults who actually want to learn about what we'll be driving.
