DMV-style practice tests for General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles — built by an FMCSA-registered training provider. Unlimited attempts, no signup, valid in all 50 states.
Each practice test draws from a question bank built from real federal source material. Take it as many times as you want — the questions shuffle every attempt.
The foundation knowledge test required for every CDL applicant. Vehicle inspection, driving safely, transporting cargo, and the federal rules every commercial driver needs to know cold.
Required for any CDL with a vehicle equipped with air brakes. System components, dual air brake systems, inspection procedures, and the emergency rules that keep loaded trucks under control.
Required for every Class A applicant. Coupling and uncoupling, fifth-wheel inspection, the unique handling of combination vehicles, and the emergency procedures specific to a tractor-trailer.
Every question is built from primary FMCSA regulations and the CDL manuals every state's DMV uses. No recycled internet quizzes. No outdated questions. The answer keys cite the actual rule.
Permit prep shouldn't cost $50 just to find out if you're ready. Take the practice tests, take them again, and walk into the DMV knowing what you're walking into. If you eventually want full ELDT theory, our paid courses are here.
The same working trucking instructor who built our paid ELDT courses wrote these practice tests. Same standards, same plain-English explanations, same understanding of what actually matters on the road.
The free practice tests are great prep for the DMV permit exam. If you're getting your CDL for the first time, federal law also requires FMCSA-approved ELDT theory training — and that's where our paid courses come in. TPR submission included with every enrollment.
