Hi! I'm attending a month long CDL course and am almost finished! I test in a week! Here's my question....one of my fellow classmates took her CDL test this morning and did awesome with pre-trip, and range skills testing, but failed the driving portion. Why does she have to re-take everything and not just the driving portion? I was told it is this way nationally....any thoughts?
Hi Dede, In Illinois you do not have to retake any part of testing that you passed. You do however have to take the tests in order (pre-trip 1st, 2nd skills and 3rd driving).
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Same with Florida, once you pass one section, you are done with it.

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Same in Missouri. You don't have to retake anything you passed.
In Kentucky you do not have to retake any tests you pass, I.e. Pretrip, Backing Skills, and Road Test.
Same in California, once you pass one section you are good to go on to the next. You only re-test for the section(s) you may have failed.

PA does not require a complete retake, only a retake on the part that wasn't passed.
It's not a national standard. Like many things that we hear in this business, turn out to be false.
You do have to re-test all in Colorado, we were actually told that today in school. Does not matter if you pass one or two, if you pass two and fail one, then you have to re-test on all of them.
I do believe Virginia will make you take them all if you fail a portion.
Figures! Some states just don't exercise common sense!
