• It’s a specific part of the CDL exam focusing on operating combination vehicles (these typically consist of a combination of a tractor and one or more trailers). It’s a multiple-choice test where you’ll deal with questions about coupling and uncoupling trailers, air brakes, and the physics of a big rig. Other topics include combination vehicle control, rollover risks, proper turning, and managing the vehicle’s space, speed, and lane position.

• This isn’t just about driving; it’s about safety, mechanics, and logistics. Handling a combination vehicle requires skill and knowledge, which this test ensures you have.
