When preparing for a Commercial Drivers License (CDL), simply reading through the CDLs drivers manual or depending on your driving experience alone will not provide you with the necessary information and skills to pass the various CDL tests and licensing. Further training should be obtained in order to pass the CDL Written and Driving Skill Tests.
THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING A COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE
Similar to getting a regular driver license, those looking to obtain a CDL must first get a permit by passing a series of written exams. While specific requirements vary from state to state, most states' CDL permit testing covers General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination vehicles. For drivers in need of certain endorsements such as Hazardous Materials (HazMat), additional written CDL endorsements exams are needed. Finally, drivers must pass the CDL driving test, which is a 3-part exam that includes pre-trip inspection test, basic control skill test, and a driving test. Once all three skills are passed, the driver can be issued a CDL.
BTS Looks forward to having your employees prepared to pass their exams and obtain their CDL and get out on the road.
