CDL Permit Practice Tests — All 50 States & DC

Choose your state to see local CDL fees, the responsible licensing agency, minimum age requirements, and links to all eight endorsement practice tests.

Federal vs. state rules: the U.S. Department of Transportation sets the eight CDL knowledge tests through the FMCSA. Each state administers its own version of those tests, sets the permit fee, and decides whether 18-to-20-year-olds can drive intrastate. Pick your state below for the local details.

What to expect on your state CDL knowledge test

Every state in the country uses the same eight federally-defined CDL knowledge tests, but a few details vary state to state: the permit fee, the testing locations, the order in which you take tests, and whether 18-to-20-year-olds can earn an intrastate-only CDL. The questions themselves are derived from the FMCSA CDL Manual, which is public-domain U.S. Federal Government work — the same source state DMVs use when writing their official versions.
