The backing control skills information for each representative "type" vehicle is found in Section 12 of the Free Tennessee CDL Handbook (Commercial Driver's License Manual).

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