MA CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

Did you know that 98.4% of shipments originating in Massachusetts are transported by truck? The trucking industry in Massachusetts is thriving, but there’s a constant demand for skilled drivers who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). By obtaining a CDL, you’re opening the door to countless opportunities and a potentially rewarding career. While a CDL might be the lucky ticket in your professional life, there’s no room for luck in commercial driving. Whether you drive a bus through Boston or haul heavy cargo across New England, there’s a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. That’s why it is crucial to master the various aspects of commercial driving described in the official Massachusetts commercial driver license manual (Massachusetts CDL Handbook 2025).

The CDL general knowledge test is mandatory for all CDL applicants, regardless of the license class or vehicle type. It consists of 50 questions on proper cargo handling, safety regulations, and vehicle inspections. All questions have multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. You must score at least 80% to pass, and there’s a time limit that will put a lot of pressure on students struggling with test anxiety. To help you pass the CDL permit test on your first attempt, you should train first with our other Massachusetts CDL practice tests and then with this General Knowledge Exam Simulator. This intuitive tool closely reflects the content and format of the official exam, except for the lack of a timer, which we have omitted for your convenience. When you make a mistake, you will not receive a detailed explanation. Instead, the question gets added to your personal Challenge Bank, which you can visit anytime you wish to identify areas that need improvement and strengthen your knowledge.

There are no shortcuts to the learning phase, but you can shorten the time it takes for you to master commercial driving theory. You should always use the most effective resources available, as they can greatly boost your learning potential. Our Massachusetts CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator can be a game changer if you doubt whether you can handle the pressure of the CDL exam. However, you must consistently train before you see any improvements.

(Massachusetts) This is a must for any CDL driver.
Reading through the CDL manual is not enough. The questions and study material here are exactly what you need to know to pass the exams. Passed on the first try with combo and airbakes. My only regret is not taking all of the endorsements together!

I am not one of those people that can….
I am not one of those people that can open a book, read it and learn the material. I need hands on and repetition. This program is really fantastic in its design and I find myself not only learning, but having fun. My goal was to just learn the material and pass the tests, but I never thought I would enjoy the learning process. I find myself taking the quizzes over and over just to beat my last score, or get a perfect 100% I can now go take my CDL tests with confidence! I'm almost 60, I have not taken a "test" in a long time, my stress level went from 100% to almost nothing because I know I have really learned the material! I am even taking the tests for certifications I am not planning on getting because learning this way is so much fun!

CDL Prep.
Great resource! Studied the program and followed lessons as indicated for a total of 30 hours over 4 days. Passed CDL exam (general knowledge, air brakes, double & triples) in 35 minutes. Well worth it. I will be using it for all future test prep!

Id hard core recommend anyone who's looking to get into trucking to take this course!
