There are THREE parts to the CDL Skills Test
You must obtain a
CLP (commercial learners permit) prior to taking your CDL skills test.
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
CDL Handbook (Commercial Driver's License Manual).
The three-part skills tests must be scheduled (often more than a week ahead).
They are given either by a state tester or by a 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 varies from state to state.
Check your state specific
CDL
Information for details.
