Practice for that important CDL test

Current and future truck drivers can now practice for the important Commercial Driver's License (CDL) test online at their convenience. This is a welcome addition to the hundreds of practice tests available for free to library patrons through the LearningExpress Library website.

A commercial driver’s license is required to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). To get a CDL, candidates have to pass written and skills tests, most of which are given at the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The LearningExpress CDL Practices offer CDL candidates the essential, authentic practice they need to perform their best on the most popular written knowledge tests.

They offer online practices based on the content of official General Knowledge tests as well the most popular endorsement tests: Passenger Transport, Combination Vehicles, Hazardous Materials, Tank Vehicles, Doubles and Triples, and Air Brakes.

Truck drivers are a constant presence on America's highways, and the job outlook is good for those wanting to become commercial drivers. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor expects the number of trucking jobs to increase in the coming years.
