Free Arkansas CDL Combination Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

In Arkansas, drivers of semi-trucks or tractor-trailers can find economic opportunities in a variety of the state’s key economic sectors. These include agriculture (the state’s biggest employer), manufacturing, retail logistics (chiefly Walmart), and natural resources (especially timber, oil and gas, and minerals).

Arkansas’s agricultural sector produces poultry and eggs, soybeans, and rice, among others. Trucks transport these products to processing facilities, warehouses, and export hubs. Walmart (whose global headquarters is located in Bentonville) operates an extensive logistical network, including multiple distribution centers in Arkansas. This network creates a demand for truck drivers to transport Walmart products. Some truck drivers work directly for Walmart; others work for third-party logistics companies that partner with Walmart.

Arkansas’s economy is heavily dependent upon its timber and paper products industry. Tractor-trailers transport raw timber from forests. In the natural gas and minerals industries, truck drivers transport equipment, raw materials, and finished products.

One of the most important east-west truck routes is Interstate 40, which runs from California through North Little Rock and ends in North Carolina. Other important truck routes include Interstates 30, 49, and 55, and U.S. Routes 65, 67, and 71.

There are three classes of Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs): Class A, Class B, and Class C. A Class A CDL allows you to operate combination vehicles with a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, in which the towed unit weighs more than 10,000 pounds. You must obtain a Class A CDL to drive semi-trucks or tractor-trailers.

Before you can obtain a CDL of any class, you must first master the theory and practice of general commercial driving. To show you’ve mastered the theory, you must pass the official General Knowledge test. However, to obtain a Class A CDL and drive semi-trucks or tractor-trailers, you must also pass the official Combination Vehicles knowledge test to show that you understand the theory of safely operating combination vehicles.

We can help! This free Arkansas CDL Combination practice test contains 25 questions and answers on such topics as safe driving techniques, combination braking systems, and pre-trip inspections. It’s based on the official Arkansas Commercial Driver’s Manual (Arkansas CDL Handbook 2025), just like the official knowledge test. And it’s structured similarly and up to date as of December, 2025. But unlike theirs, ours comes with an available hint to gently suggest the correct answer and an explanation of the correct answer.
