They ask you to tell them the best line you can read and then they ask you to tel the colors of Red Yellow and Green. Now Blood Pressure and sleep apnea and several other things will keep you from getting your CDL!

I just had mine.. the eye thing is just as stated above and you can wear your glasses.. for the sleap ape.a they measure your neck with a tape measure.. then the listen to your heart and lungs.. they do silly strength tests.. like have you grip and squeeze two of the doctoers fingers, turn your hands palm up, then palm down, nothing difficult at all..

There are eye charts on line.Why don't you print one out tape it to your wall and practice it from 25 ft away,using both eyes,covering your left eye then cover your right eye.I bought cheap glasses from walmart to pass the test.Hows your bp,have you had it checked lately?You should do that but have a doctor do it because the portable testers like walgreens is not accurate.
luvtotruck and newbietrucker007 Thank this. -
Go to CVS pharmacy/Minute Clinic....the rooms are so small and the charts are so BIG your cant fail...you're probably less than 5 feet away.
