View All PlansAre you considering a career change? Perhaps you’ve always been fascinated by heavy 18-wheelers, which are often seen traveling on New Mexico’s roads. Becoming a commercial driver takes time and effort, but it will reward you with a lucrative profession. You’ll need a Class A CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) to drive combination vehicles. This license is granted after finishing the licensing process, which is described in the first section of the official New Mexico Commercial Driver License Manual (New Mexico CDL Handbook 2025).
You must pass several theory exams before you can get behind the wheel of a semi-truck. The official general knowledge test will evaluate your understanding of commercial driving theory through 50 multiple-choice questions. You must score 80% or higher to pass, leaving little room for error. Upon passing this exam, you will be issued a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), which allows you to practice driving commercial vehicles under the supervision of a full CDL holder. Since you are interested in driving combination vehicles, you must also pass the official combination vehicles knowledge exam. This test is based on Section 6 (Combination Vehicles) of the official Commercial Driver License Manual.
Our Free New Mexico CDL Combination Practice Tests can help you achieve a passing score on your first attempt. Available 24/7, this intuitive tool can be accessed on any compatible device. Since this practice test is browser-based, you will need a stable internet connection at all times. You can customize your testing experience by activating several features.

Commercial driving is a complex skill that cannot be learned overnight. As you begin your learning phase, you should dedicate the following weeks to studying this subject. Our Free New Mexico CDL Permit Practice Test closely reflects the content and format of the official general knowledge exam. Use this efficient tool to boost your learning potential and build the confidence to ace your theory exams on your first attempt.
