View All PlansWashington, DC may be small in size, but it provides unique opportunities for commercial drivers. As the nation’s capital, it is a central hub for government agencies, embassies, and nonprofit organizations. Drivers who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) often find employment delivering sensitive cargo, transporting office supplies to federal buildings, and hauling construction materials. Commercial driving in the District of Columbia involves great responsibility, making it crucial to understand commercial driving theory before starting your career.
This subject is thoroughly described in the District of Columbia Commercial Driver License Manual (District of Columbia CDL Handbook), an official resource published by the DMV. You should read the contents of this manual multiple times during your learning phase. Learn more about safe driving practices, pre-trip inspections, and the CDL and its endorsements. When you’re ready, use our District of Columbia CDL Class A Practice Test to evaluate your knowledge.
This intuitive tool has 93 questions. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. To reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law, we have recently updated this practice test for January 2026. You will always use the latest version, but we recommend checking the official DC DMV website for the most up-to-date information.
