Our CDL practice tests are designed to help test your knowledge of the CDL Manual and sharpen your skills for taking the CDL permit and endorsement exams. They are not designed to teach you the knowledge necessary to pass the exams. Please do not try to memorize CDL practice tests in order to get your CDL. There's a better way.
Our High Road CDL Training Program is by far the easiest and most effective way to learn the materials necessary for passing your written CDL exams and preparing for a great start to your career. We strongly suggest using the High Road (which is 100% free!) to learn the CDL manual before using our CDL practice questions to test your knowledge.
We know which materials the examiners expect you to know, and we're aware of how tricky they like to make the questions. We've made sure you'll be well prepared for the CDL exams and beyond.
We also know that learning is the key, not just memorization, so we've included a snippet from the CDL manual with each question. You can look up the answer to each question quickly without losing your place or leaving the page. You'll love that feature.
"I studied at Trucking Truth every evening for 2 months. I went to the DMV and aced my Class B permit. In fact the lady admitted to me that after the 1st 40 questions I didn’t get any wrong, she snuck up behind me to see if I was cheating!"

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
