America's truck drivers have to ace this test before controlling a 26,000-pound vehicle on the open road — see if you can pass it
Before getting their commercial driver's license, long-haul truck drivers must pass the CDL exam. It tests their knowledge on safety, driving, and trucking laws. Can you pass the exam that America's truckers all take?
Not just anyone can control a vehicle that can be up to 80,000 pounds.
Before long-haul truckers can start working, they need a commercial driver's license. One requirement for that is passing the CDL exam.
There are several classes of the license, including A, B, and C. Class A, the most common, allows the holder to drive a truck and a trailer weighing more than 26,001 pounds. You can also get a variety of endorsements to transport hazardous materials or double or triple trailers.
The exam varies from state to state, but certain questions on safety and sharing the road with others are the same.
