Texas CLP Testing
Topic 32914 | Page 1
Why don't you offer the study/testing for that? Or where else can I find that testing material in the type of format offered here? Thanks Mike
Hey Mike,
I know what you're referring to. It's "section 14" in the Texas CDL manual. We plan to add it to our High Road CDL Training Program, but we haven't done so yet.
For now, all you can do is study that section straight from the manual. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll have it finished in time for your exam.
Texas is the only state that has a special requirements section like that, so we're getting to that as we can.
Sorry about that!
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.
Ok, I kinda of figured, but it would be great to offer it here. I think it would be a great help to us Texans trying to get into driving. I am studying from the book, but it's not as fun :). Thanks for the reply.

I am still waiting for my CLP permit testing date to come up (3/6/23). In the meantime, I am still studying through the testing format you guys offer here, which, BTW have been a great help to me and I believe I will Ace my tests :). However, there is one section I am a little concerned about and that is the "special requirements" test that Texas stipulates are needed for the CLP. Why don't you offer the study/testing for that? Or where else can I find that testing material in the type of format offered here? Thanks Mike
CLP:
Commercial Learner's Permit
Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
