    Hello I would like some information on the written test for CDL permit? how is the written test like? Well the reason why I ask this is because unfortunately for me I have a forum of dyslexia and spelling is not my strengths. Would this cause a problem for me during my exam? I also hear that Swift has a written test to how is that?

    Swift hires drivers who do not speak a single word of English, I was in orientation with one of them. Look under their violations for the driver fitness basic they have had 9 violations for "non English speaking driver" in the last 24 months.

    The actual CDL "written" test is multiple choice. Don't bother reading the state handbook, just use the practice tests on this website and others. You will be fine. Then if you have issues filling out Swifts paperwork they will help you.
