Free Georgia CDL Permit Practice Test: General Knowledge 2025

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

There should be jobs aplenty for commercial drivers in the great state of Georgia for several reasons: its pro-business economic climate, its numerous growing economic sectors, and its role as a strategic hub for commerce and logistics in the southeast United States.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world, equipped for refrigerated storage of perishables. The Port of Savannah is the single largest and fastest-growing container terminal in the country. Note: Airports and seaports are considered secure areas. You may need a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) card to pick up cargo at these facilities.

Georgia’s vibrant economic sectors include technology, manufacturing, agriculture, services, logistics, transportation, film, and convention and trade show businesses, all of which can use truckers. Meanwhile, millions of visitors flock each year to Georgia’s tourist attractions and other points of interest, many of them by bus.

Major commercial routes include Interstate 75 (heavily used by trucks traveling south to Florida or north as far as Michigan), Interstate 85 (used by trucks traveling from Georgia to neighboring states), Interstate 20 (used by trucks traveling to or from Texas), and U.S. Route 441 (used by trucks carrying products from agricultural areas).

One of the first important steps toward becoming a commercial driver in Georgia is to pass the official General Knowledge test on commercial driving theory. You must pass this test before you can become eligible to obtain a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). You’ve probably started studying the official Georgia Commercial Driver’s Study Guide (Georgia CDL Handbook 2025) because the official knowledge test is based on this commercial driving manual. However, we bet you’re here because you want to get some more help to pass the knowledge test than you’re getting from the manual. We’ve helped many aspiring commercial drivers, and we can help you too.

This free Georgia CDL permit practice test, one of several we offer, is based on the official state commercial driving manual, just like the official knowledge test. It’s up to date as of November, 2025. There are 50 multiple-choice questions on such topics as driving techniques, emergency preparedness, following distance, and vehicle inspections. Unlike the official knowledge test, this practice test comes with our automated assistant, which can help you with a question by supplying a hint and an explanation of the correct answer. What this practice test doesn’t come with is a time limit. Take your time and learn as much as you can. If you’re stumped by a question, look up the answer in the official manual before proceeding with the rest of the practice test.

We are not only teaching drivers in Georgia but also growing professionals who can take Appalachian foothills and coastal plains. This test is your first step toward entering into the ranks of the professional truckers that keep Georgia’s economy running.

Pop open a glass of sweet tea, crank up the stereo with some Georgia-grown tunes, and let’s see if you’ve got what it takes to obtain that Georgia CDL. Good luck, future road warrior!

I've held a commercial license for about 11 years now, and.
I've held a commercial license for about 11 years now, and needed the hazmat endorsement to, you know, enhance my marketability. Some companies require it, and it will kind of increase opportunities for me. Started studying about two days, and I went through everything, all of the tests that they required on there to pass. And it was very easy.
S
Get it done easy and fast.
Easy registration, easy access to get start up and running through the topic. The positive and encouraging comments from the police instructor man, after finishing tests; motivated me to not stop working hard. The way everything is organized makes the training seamless and easy.
E
Needed a CDL for Dsny.
Worked wonders, finished all the tests for GA and the endorsements I needed (Air brakes, Tanker) did challenge banks, looked over “cheat sheets” quickly, passed. Never believed in things like this but it worked. Helped a lot. Thank you.
KT
I used this to take 3 of my CDL Endorsement tests.
I used this to take the HazmatPassenger and Bus tests at the GA DMV and I passed the first time on each. The questions were the same as on the site. It prepared me very well.
