Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements. Colorado winters can be harsh and unforgiving, creating serious challenges for beginner drivers. From September through May, commercial drivers are required to carry tire chains when their route goes through mountain corridors. If a truck gets stuck and blocks traffic without proper equipment, the fines can be just as steep as the grades. The official Commercial Driver License Manual (Colorado CDL Handbook 2025) describes safe driving practices for combination vehicles, jackknife prevention, and handling emergency situations. Please read its contents multiple times to familiarize yourself with this subject.
To legally drive combination vehicles with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, where the trailer itself weighs over 10,000 pounds, you must pass the official combination vehicles knowledge exam and meet several other requirements. This exam is based on Section 6 (Combination Vehicles) of the official Commercial Driver License Manual. You must score 80% or higher to pass, leaving little room for error. Upon passing, you will receive a CLP (Commercial Learner’s Permit), which you can use to practice driving combination vehicles under the supervision of a full Class A CDL holder.
