Tennessee CDL

I passed all my tests in va from doing practice tests online only. Do them until you get all the questions right all the time.

However, every test had questions I missed. So, ymmv.

If you've got plenty of common sense and do all the practice tests, you'll be fine

 

Only need to study general knowledge, air brakes, and combination. The rest is for additional endorsements but it won't hurt to skim through it atleast.

 

The hardest part of getting a cdl in any state is passing the pre-trip inspection. The DMV doesn't care if you ace every written test and will still flunk you on the pre-trip inspection for silly reasons such as calling a gauge a indicator or visa versa. They won't even give you the road test until you pass the pre-trip inspection. YouTube has videos of pre-trip inspections.

If you're working 3 PT jobs, you probably qualify for free cdl school paid for by the state through the WIOA Program.

 

Whatever vehicle you bring . Dmv wont supply vehicles. Also... if vehicle you test in is an automatic, cdl will be restricted to autos only. If it doesnt gave airbrakes.... restricted too

 

I'm not familiar with the hotshot segment of trucking. I'm just guessing you'll test in the type truck you plan to drive. Talk to someone at the DMV; try to go in person if you can and ask.
