Topics on written exam

To get your permit you will need to study and pass the General Knowledge, Combination Vehicle and Air Brake exams. Don't worry about Hazmat or Busses unless the company that hires you requires those endorsements.

 

You can also study the questions for those 3 sections and should be ok to pass too. As long as you can get those questions--your good to go! Good luck to ya!

 

Do not be intimidated! The book ain't that big. Read it. Take the quizes at the end of each chapter. Wash, risnse, repeat... If you want to be a trucker, yes you may ignore the school bus part, goes without saying. Air brakes...? What do you think...?

You have a very long wrong road ahead of you (Pun intended). But in all seriousness, getting your license is, or should be, a walk in the park compared to what lies ahead. So read, study, LEARN. I wish you all the best. You have come to the right place for information and oppionion though. Rest assured. Welcome aboard!

 

Why not? Key is, whatever you're testing threshhold will permit. But I would reccomend getting any/all endorsements if for no other reason other than it's impressive to perspective employers. What's a few extra bucks and an hour of your time. But of course... your decission.

 

I just decided to come back to driving myself. When I went to take the test for my AP license I did not study at all. I drove before so how hard could it be? I failed twice and decided to study. It is not hard but you need to read the manual for sure. It might be safer to stop 100 feet before a RR xing, but it is still an incorrect answer. Lots of little unimportant ?s that can cause you to fail. Don't take that the wrong way, I know it is best to know, I understand you need to know. But how many actual feet you do whatever is not as important as knowing how to be safe and not panic. It really does get easier though. Read, do your best, don't sweat it.
You will prevail!

 

Need to get my ap license in state of Georgia, anyone taken it that can give me advise as to what sections of the CDL book to focus on?

 

Just read every part that applies to you and what you want to make a career out of. Most written tests require a Combinations test, general knowledge, and air brakes. Then you can take endorsement tests for tank vehicles, double trailer, passenger, or hazmat.

 

This is a good site for taking practice tests:

I took those tests and they were a tremendous help. Passed my exam first try.
