There are THREE parts to the Illinois CDL Skills Test
You must obtain a
Illinois CLP (commercial learners permit) prior to taking your Illinois CDL skills test.
Illinois Basic Control Skills Tests
- Straight line backing
- Offset right or left backing
- Alley dock backing
The backing control skills information for each representative "type"
vehicle is found in Section 12 of the
Free
Illinois CDL Handbook (Commercial Driver's License Manual).
The three-part Illinois CDL skills tests must be scheduled (often more than a week ahead).
They are given either by a Illinois state tester or by a Illinois state approved third party
tester. Depending on where you live, you will either have to provide a proper
vehicle or one will be provided for you. This may vary from location to location.

"I never would have passed if I tried studying without your CDL program. I usually don't do good on tests. This made it interesting and simple.
" - D.M., Ogden, UT
"Because of test anxiety, I procrastinated until I only had three days left before I needed my CDL permit before purchasing from you. I am holding my CDL permit. I wish I found your web site sooner. Thanks!
