MA CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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.
