Answer 3

A local truck training program in my area teaches you what specific companies want you to know and the material that will be on the test.  Some trucking companies pay the tuition.

Type in CDL test prep.  There are many sites.  Some will have free questions.  The test is supposed to be hard.  You will be hauling unstable loads, dangerous chemicals, and everyone's health and safety, including yours, depends on your skill and knowledge.

Type in your state's name and look for the part on commercial truck driving.  There will be a handbook.  In Indiana, you can pick up one at a driver's branch or download one.  It'll have questions and take you through everything you have to do to earn a license.

Answer 5

first pay the 65 bucks for the required tests, then get your permit, learn to drive and maybe get hazmat endorsements and tanker endorsements.  you need to learn how to use airbrakes properly.....all part of the practical tests.

you have to get a medical exam first, with all problems resolved before they allow the permit. then carry the medical green card with you while you own the class A commercial license.   the tickets are more severe when you have a Class A license.
