Premium CDL Training: Pass Your Class A, B, or C, Guaranteed.

Save thousands of dollars and months of mindless memorization

Like having your own private CDL class, at a fraction of the cost. See how CDL Premium compares to traditional trucking schools.

CDL Premium Traditional CDL training

	Traditional CDL training	CDL Premium
Cost	$3,000 - $7,000 for a typical 80-hour course	$49/week +Unlimited use
Convenience	Not all CDL schools offer evening classes. If you have a day job, you'll have to take time off from work to attend day classes or ask your friends and family to help with household responsibilities.	Instant online access; use it 24/7. Study from home or on the go. Minimal impact on current job and family responsibilities.
Duration	Two-week 80-hour course on average (60 percent of which is classroom instruction time). May have to purchase a separate course for each endorsement.	Lifetime, weekly, or monthly membership (cancel at any time). Use it now; come back whenever you need to renew or add another endorsement to your CDL license.
All License Classes (A/B/C)	Must pay a separate fee or even find a separate school that specializes in the type of vehicle you want to drive. Travel far from home may be necessary.	All CDL license classes and endorsements covered with no extra fees.
Personalized Instruction	No personalization. You study in a group of 10–20 students. You may struggle to keep up with the faster students or be bored when the teacher has to explain things to the slower students.	Your mistakes are automatically stored in the Challenge Bank for you to review. Tests are divided into several difficulty levels. Study at your own pace.
Knowledge Retention	Often outdated, passive (instructor-centered) methods of teaching. Poor retention.	Remember the concepts faster by intensive drilling with practice tests based on the official manuals and relevant federal regulations.
Guarantee You'll Pass	Most CDL schools don't offer money-back guarantees. At the end of the program, you typically get a certificate and a handshake.	Comes with a Pass Guarantee (available on a 30-day plan and above). We promise that you'll pass your CDL exam, or we'll refund you in full.

CDL training schools may offer as little as one week of preparation for the knowledge test. There is so much to learn that you may not be ready to pass it in so short a time. CDL Premium provides a highly affordable way to fully prepare for the knowledge test and all endorsement exams. With your Commercial Learner Permit in hand, you may only have to purchase behind-the-wheel driving instruction or a refresher course from a regular CDL training school.

"I walked into the DMV very confident and knew I was prepared. Passed all 8 tests with ease."

"These tests are worth their weight in gold!"

“I halfway skimmed over the chapters in the book. Passed on the first try. Made sure to pass all of the available tests on the site, did the marathons once each and then did the practice exams many times over. 95% of the questions on the practice exams were on the real test, just some were worded awkwardly.”

Cody Bain

"Seriously the best money I've spent in a very long time."

“The marathon testing, the questions and feedback are really excellent. If you are on the fence about spending money for the premium service, seriously, do it. You will not be disappointed. It is worth every penny.”

“This program is an excellent study tool. I just wrote my CDL exams today. 100% across the board. Honestly, there's a reason Driving-tests.org puts the guarantee out there...if you follow the program and put the time into the practice tests to the point where you're flying through every one with a high level of confidence, you are ready to write and guaranteed to pass!”

To improve visibility during severe or stormy weather, __________ must be secure, undamaged, and operating smoothly and correctly.

the lighting indicators

the handholds and steps

the windshield wipers and washer

the emergency equipment

Keep the rain and snow off your windshield.

Check that the windshield wiper blades are in good condition and press hard enough against the windshield to keep it clean without excessive streaking. Also make sure that the windshield washer mechanism works and there is enough windshield washer fluid in the reservoir.

Try me

To make an emergency stop with the "stab braking" method, you should

depress the brake pedal as hard as you can, release the brakes when the wheels lock, and apply the brakes again when the wheels start to roll.

pump the brake pedal rapidly and lightly.

brake hard until the wheels lock and then release the brakes for as long as the wheels have been locked.

Ease off once the wheels lock, and then go again.

To stop with stab braking, brake hard, release the brakes once the wheels lock, and then brake hard once the wheels start to roll again. (Clearly, this method won't work if your vehicle has antilock brakes, because the wheels won't lock. Use controlled braking instead.)

Getting your first CLP (Commercial Learner's Permit)?

When you're just starting your career in commercial driving, you need an in-depth, well-structured and comprehensive study system so you can get a high-paying job and support your family. You want to fully learn the rules of the road, so you need a LOT of extra practice. If you've tried reading the CDL manual, you'll know that it's poorly organized, overly verbose and lacks the visual explanations. A guided program with a regularly updated question bank works much better for retention. Our ultra-affordable "Monthly" plan provides thirty full days of access and unlocks a huge set of exam-like materials that have helped over 76,000 customers get behind the wheel. Choose it if you have at least several day to prepare, but would like to avoid the painful boredom of CDL manuals. We recommend that you keep the account active even after passing the official exam, as your employer might ask you to obtain more endorsements, for which you'll have to pass the appropriate knowledge tests.

Failed your CDL knowledge exam before?

When you've been struggling to pass on your own and your previous attempt was unsuccessful, you need a different approach. Testing over this much information requires something that will help you retain the information better and won't leave you feeling desperately insecure. Choose the "Monthly" plans if you want to be over-prepared (in a good, bulletproof way) and to build confidence with increasing difficulty levels as you cover every topic you'll be tested on. You'll have full access to everything our program offers, including the tricky questions that no one really talks about. All kinds of nuanced differences are made clear and easy. You'll also go over the more difficult issues so you could memorize things like keeping distances between cars when driving and distances it takes to stop a commercial vehicle at certain speeds when driving. With the industry-leading 95.2% success rate and our Pass Guarantee, you'll be sure to pass.

Adding one or more endorsements to your existing CDL?

When your employer has asked you to get one or more additional endorsements, that's usually a good thing - it most likely means a better-paying job. Now you just need to pass the knowledge exam (which you probably haven't taken in years). Being an experienced driver, you don't have to start from scratch - all you need is a clearly laid-out refresher with the information specific to your new endorsement/-s. Our program covers them all! Choose the "Monthly" or the "Lifetime"; both plans offer full access to our exam-like question database and will make sure you're fully prepared for the endorsement/-s you need, so you can get back to your life as soon as possible. If there's a chance that your employer might ask you to obtain more endorsements, we recommend that you get the "Lifetime" plan.

Renewing your existing CDL?

When your CDL is up for renewal (usually once every five years), it's time to get a refresher in order to keep it active. You probably haven't taken the written exam in years. When you've got a family that depends on you and a lot of other commitments, you don't have time to study the entire manual. Good news: being an experienced driver, you don't have to start from scratch - all you need is a clearly laid-out refresher with the information specific to your new endorsement/-s. Choose the "Monthly"; it offers full access to our exam-like question database and will make sure you're fully prepared so you can get back to your life as soon as possible.

How can you be sure that Premium will help you pass?

We know exactly what the wants. Driving-Tests.org is the largest independent driver education provider in the United States. Driving practice tests are all we do. With 4.5 million monthly visitors, we’re the ONLY specialized team dedicated entirely to driving tests: writers, researchers, and analysts who know what the DMV wants from applicants and how to teach it.
