CDL License

Not sure about your training program--but for me it took only as
long as I was dedicated to study for each test. I knew I needed
General Knowledge, Airbrake and Combination to get the PERMIT so I studied those first
and took one at a time, although I live near the testing (DMV) station.
As I passed each one I'd study for te next and so on until I passed them all.
The three listed above were necessary before starting school--so check with your
community college. Since I had the time I also took tanker, doubles/triples and
haz mat. For Haz you will need to also pay a fee and submit fingerprints for a background
check, which could take 4 weeks.

So to answer your question--get your state testing manual and start studying. There are also
sites online that help you prepare for the tests (see toolbar above--CDL Practice Tests)
I suppose you could get them all in one day if you were to study your butt off.
You won't get your CDL A until you finish school and take your driving test.
The 1st hurdle is to pass your knowledge tests to get your permit!

As I recall the general knowledge was like 50 questions and almost all the others
were like 25 questions. That may differ from state to state.

Good Luck to you!

 

also.. if you take all your written test at once,then it would only cost you one fee. if you take one at a time,it would cost more.

 

We will be taking the endorsement tests when we go for our permit within the first week, then it will be about 3 weeks later when the class tests for Inspection and road test. You will want to check with your instructor on the time line for everything.
