MA CDL Combination Vehicles Practice Test 3 2025

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

Finding the perfect resource to prepare for the Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test can be a daunting task. You have come to the right place for a scientifically proven, expert-driven series of practice tests perfect for the task! To legally operate combination vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, in Massachusetts, you must earn a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).

The steps include completing the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) through an FMCSA-approved provider, passing the General Knowledge Exam, obtaining a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), holding it for at least 14 days, and then passing both the Massachusetts CDL Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test and the behind-the-wheel road skills test. The three-part Skills Test includes pre-trip inspection, off-street skills (performing controlled maneuvers like alley dock and parallel parking), and on-road driving.

The official Massachusetts Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, and you must score 80% (16 correct answers) or higher to pass. The test covers safe driving practices for combination vehicles, coupling and uncoupling procedures, preventing trailer skids and jackknives, air-brake systems and trailer service brake checks, and inspection and maintenance procedures. If you fail, you must wait at least one business day before retesting, and a retest fee may apply. Our practice tests help to ensure you pass on your first attempt; thus, avoiding any delays and added fees.
