In Kansas, the Department of Revenue (DMV) oversees the licensing process. All aspiring commercial drivers must meet eligibility requirements and pass several theory and skills exams before they can get a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). The official general knowledge test includes 50 questions based on the official Kansas Commercial Driver License Manual (Kansas CDL Handbook 2025). To pass, you must answer all questions before the timer runs out and score 80% or higher.

Improve your chances of achieving a passing score on your first attempt with the help of our Free Kansas CDL Permit Practice Test, an intuitive tool designed to boost your learning potential. After passing this exam, you will be granted a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). This permit allows you to practice driving commercial vehicles under the supervision of a full CDL holder.

Starting in 2022, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) mandated Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for all aspiring commercial drivers. As of December 2025, this requirement remains in effect. You must get ELDT from a provider listed in the Training Provider Registry (TPR) before you can schedule and take your CDL skills tests. Driving a fully-loaded 18-wheeler involves great responsibility, making this training crucial. Its purpose is to reduce accidents and ensure that all licensed commercial drivers have the essential skills and knowledge to safely operate commercial vehicles.
