Hello, future Michigan trucker! This CDL General Knowledge practice test is your first step on the road to hitting the road in a big rig. The following practice test is designed to cover all bases much like the real thing.
Our 50 multiple-choice questions come straight from the Michigan Commercial Driver License Manual and state laws. We’re talking traffic signs, signals, right-of-way rules, trucking laws, speed limits, vehicle inspection, and basic commercial vehicle safety. It’s all here to make you a safer, more knowledgeable driver.
Each question contains a hint and an explanation. Please take your time reading them even if you get the answer right because they will give you an in-depth understanding of the rules and why they are so important on the highway.
Commercial driving has its particularities in Michigan. You are going to want to know things such as seasonal weight restrictions during spring breakup, and how to cross at our busy border crossings. We’ve worked to craft Michigan-specific content that will prepare you for what you’re about to encounter.
This practice test is excellent for first-time applicants, for those looking to renew their license, or for drivers who just want to add new endorsements. Because it is based on the most recent MI Commercial Driver License Manual, you are well assured you will get updated information.
Want to dig deeper? Explore our complete General Knowledge test series. We have hundreds of questions covering everything from air brakes to hazmat. And if you’re curious about all of the associated costs in getting your CDL, be sure to have a look at our guide to CDL license expenses that breaks it all down. Need a step-by-step walkthrough of the whole process? Our CDL license guide has got you covered.
Keep in mind, this practice test is just the beginning. The real reward will be when you prove to become a safe and responsible commercial driver on Michigan’s roadways. Good luck, and happy trucking!
