The three-part Michigan CDL skills tests must be scheduled (often more than a week ahead). They are given either by a Michigan state tester or by a Michigan 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. Check your specific Michigan CDL Information for details.
