• Where can I get a CDL driver manual or drivers handbook?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Commercial Drivers License

  Obtaining a CDL Drivers Handbook That varies depending on where you reside. Many states make the CDL drivers manual available online through their DMV site. This provides easy access to the material you'll need to know to pass your CDL test. The downside, though, is that if you prefer printing out the handbook for studying purposes, you'll be facing a lengthy download and use a lot of paper as these manuals are large. Almost all states allow you to pick up the manual in person. Most make the CDL handbook available through their full-service driver's license offices; or, if not there, at other DMV locations. And, some states permit you to order the book by phone or through the mail. You may need to pay a nominal shipping fee, however. Check with your state's main driver's license..

• Does a practice CDL test also cover Hazmat test questions?

  • Drivers License > Practice Tests > CDL Practice Tests

  It may. If you’re taking a free practice test for the DMV, then Hazmat test questions may also be covered under the CDL umbrella. In most cases, free state tests do not have Hazmat questions. There is a Hazmat section included in the state’s CDL Driver Manual, however, so studying this will help you prepare. However, if your state DMV does not have practice CDL tests with Hazmat questions, you can get a CDL practice test from a third-party provider that does have Hazmat questions. These CDL practice tests have questions taken from the CDL manual to help you pass the CDL Test. Getting a hazmat endorsement is important to your career--be sure you take some practice tests so you pass with flying..

• Before going to the CDL testing location, how should I prepare for my CDL exam?

  • Drivers License > Practice Tests > CDL Practice Tests

  Typically, a CDL exam is a mixture of multiple choice and true/false questions. Most states give the exam on a computer, but some have the option of a pen and paper test for those who prefer this method. If you don't understand a particular question, it is better to pick the answer you think is most likely to be correct than to leave the question blank. When looking for practice CDL tests, remember that there are actually several different tests a commercial driver may need to take to earn his license. For example, you will need to take a separate exam if you wish to earn an endorsement for transporting hazardous materials. Most states also require a separate test for people who wish to obtain employment driving a school bus. The best way to prepare for your written CDL test is to take as..
