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.
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.
Common requirements across all states
- Hold a regular driver license
- Be at least 18 (intrastate) or 21 (interstate / HazMat)
- Pass a DOT medical examination
- Complete entry-level driver training (ELDT) for new applicants
- Pass the General Knowledge test plus all endorsement tests for the vehicles you intend to drive
- Hold the Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) for at least 14 days before the skills test
- Pass the three-part skills test: vehicle inspection, basic control, and on-road driving
