Earning your Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is a major milestone that includes passing the Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test. This particular test is one of several requirements for obtaining the license and covers a substantial list of testable topics. Our North Carolina CDL Combination Vehicles Practice Tests are the perfect tool for learning this material quickly and efficiently.
In addition to passing the Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test, you’ll need to complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) through an FMCSA-approved provider listed on the Training Provider Registry (TPR). You’ll also need to pass the CDL General Knowledge Test before receiving your Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), which you must hold for a minimum of 14 days. At that point, you can take the behind-the-wheel Skills Test (in a combination vehicle). Once you pass it, you may obtain your Class A license.
The Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test requires a minimum passing score of 80% (which means answering 16 questions accurately). The 20 multiple-choice questions are based on material about combination vehicles in the North Carolina CDL Manual. If you don’t pass on your first try, you can retest after one business day. Your initial testing fee covers three attempts, so preparing with our practice tests helps avoid extra fees and delays.

From the mountain stretches of I-40 to the coastal routes of I-95 and U.S. 70, Class A drivers are essential to agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. Major employers such as ABF Freight, FedEx Freight, NFI Industries, Old Dominion Freight Line, and Walmart Distribution Centers rely on Class A-certified drivers for their transport needs.
