Doubles Endorsement
Topic 23745 | Page 1
Use the High Road CDL Training Program. We recommend getting all endorsements.
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.

I believe the High Road CDL Training Program has a section on the doubles endorsement

Doubles:
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
As stated use the High Road program, it is a fairly easy test.
I used various free tests online and honestly I could have passed the test with no preparation. It's easy if you have common sense. I'd recommend the high road training program but it can be cumbersome when trying to just study for one endorsement as the quizzes will ask you questions about previously studied material that you no longer need. It's great for somebody studying for everything all at once but not so much if you're just trying to grab an endorsement later on.
This could be complete user failure or lack of understanding on my part idk. Good luck though it's easy. I live in TN by the way
I just studied (and passed on the first time out) the T Doubles/ Triples endorsement. Of course I used the High Road.
JuiceBox is right, the old questions come back to haunt you. But remember you just might get another go at the General Knowledge part. Test review can't be all bad.

I totally agree with this. Reviewin that material is only helpin you out in the long run. Ya never know if ya forgot something or if something has changed since you got your CDL. That’s why I am glad the High Road CDL Training Program is designed the way it is. It keeps things fresh in your mind.

For the record, you guys can reset your scores at anytime and it will erase your history and stop showing review questions.
