View All PlansTo legally drive combination vehicles in Connecticut, earning a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is essential. There are several steps involved in this process, including passing the Connecticut CDL General Knowledge Test and CDL Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test, earning a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), and ultimately passing a skills test. Additional federal requirements also apply. You must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from an FMCSA-approved provider before you can take the CDL skills test (in a combination vehicle!).
The official Connecticut Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test has 20 multiple-choice questions and covers a variety of topics, like safe driving practices for combination vehicles, air brake systems and usage in combination vehicles, proper coupling and uncoupling procedures, inspection steps, and identification and function of major vehicle parts. To pass the test, you’ll need to answer at least 16 questions (80%) correctly. If you fail, you must wait at least one business day before retesting, and you may need to pay a new exam fee. We don’t want you to face a delay or extra fees, so our experts have put together a series of combination vehicle practice tests to help ensure you pass the test on your first attempt.
