CDL Training Materials Practice Tests Are AWESOME!! Thank You TruckerTruth!
Topic 3869 | Page 1
I used the CDL training program on here last year and was getting pretty awesome. Now I have reset my counter and am starting all over to prepare for the school. The great thing about this site is that you cannot cruise through...you'll get halted from missing questions. Great program!!
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 was and still nervous about retaining all the knowledge that is crammed into at the schools but I thank God everyday for this website and the men and women who made this site possible. The training system is AWESOME!
I used the High Road training program last year and for the past two days it has paid dividends in the permit testing. Today I got my TX permit. Scored a 95 on every test. The questions that I missed were very odd questions. 19/20 on each test is pretty good so I'm happy, though I was aiming for perfection. I am taking the Air Brakes test tomorrow so I'm reviewing that here on the site. TX has some nuances that are slightly different than the material on here but it's so minor that I can easily remember the differences.

Good Job! The High Road training was awesome, I read everything and took all the tests before going to the DMV , I passed ALL my tests - CDL , airbrakes, combos, doubles/triples, tankers, HazMat and class C w/motorcycle one the first try! (3 hours at DMV). Payed out of pocket for school and yesterday I Passed! I now have my CLASS A CDL w/all endorsments! Next I will be going to Schneider Bulk/Tanker Div. oreintation!
