Free Colorado CDL Combination Practice Test 2025

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

Welcome! You’re probably here because you want to pass the official Combination Vehicles knowledge test on the theory of operating combination vehicles, which you must do to be allowed to drive semi-trucks and tractor-trailers. We hope you’ve been reading the official Colorado Commercial Driver License Manual (Colorado CDL Handbook 2025), especially Section 6 (Combination Vehicles), because the official knowledge test is based on it. But are you also looking for some additional help to improve your chances of passing the test?

Well, that’s what we’re here for! We’ve helped thousands of aspiring car drivers and commercial drivers pass their respective knowledge exams, and we’re going to help you too.

This free Colorado CDL Combination practice test, one of several we offer, is based on the above official study guide, just like the official Combination Vehicles knowledge test. The practice test is up to date as of November, 2025. As you practice answering questions about the stuff you’ve been reading in the manual, that material will become easier to remember, increasing your chances of passing the official exam. To make your learning easier, each of the 25 practice questions comes with a helpful hint and an explanation of the correct answer. The practice questions and answers on this test will assess your knowledge of such topics as safe driving techniques, combination braking systems, coupling and uncoupling, and pre-trip inspections. If you need help to answer a question, our automated assistant can give you a hint. If you still miss the question, the assistant can provide you with an explanation of the correct answer.

Once you obtain a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), you can start practicing commercial driving of combination vehicles until you get good enough to pass the official skills test. Passing the skills test in a combination vehicle is a necessary step toward obtaining a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).

Once you hold a Class A CDL, you can start earning real money as a licensed driver of combination vehicles. Economic sectors in Colorado’s diversified economy include agriculture (hay, corn, wheat, and beef), aerospace, manufacturing, and gold mining and production. All these sectors need truck drivers to transport their products. The aerospace and mining industries also need truck drivers to deliver equipment and supplies to them.

You’ll soon become familiar with Colorado’s major truck routes. Here are some. Interstate 25, heavily used by truckers, runs from Wyoming through Denver and then to New Mexico. Interstate 70 runs from Utah to Maryland. Interstate 76 and U.S. Route 285 are heavily used by truckers to transport agricultural products.
