ND CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025
The Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota constantly demand specialized CDL drivers. Many companies run 24/7 operations and provide the highest-paying commercial driving jobs in the state. Drivers transport crude oil, drilling equipment, and water to and from well sites. If you are considering a career in this industry, you’ll need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). You will also need the Tanker (N) and HazMat (H) endorsements to transport hazardous materials and drive tankers.
As an aspiring commercial driver, your first step is to pass the official North Dakota CDL General Knowledge (permit) test. This exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the official North Dakota commercial driver license manual (North Dakota CDL Handbook 2025). In North Dakota’s western regions, oilfield routes and rural highways often have varying terrain. Drivers who don’t manage speed correctly on hills put themselves and other road users at risk. Controlling speed on downgrades and other aspects of commercial driving theory are explained in the official handbook. Please read its contents at least once to understand the basics. When you’re ready, use our other CDL practice tests to strengthen your knowledge.
Our North Dakota CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator can be a key addition to your study sessions. We have designed this tool to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam. You must answer 50 questions and score 80% or higher to pass, but there is no timer to pressure you. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. Before you begin another session, please visit your personal Challenge Bank™ to understand why some of your previous choices were wrong. You can use the “Restart” button to wipe your current progress and begin a new session whenever you want to get a fresh start. Do not be afraid to use it, as you have unlimited attempts to train with our simulator. Repetition is key to mastering this subject, and every training session brings you closer to becoming a safe and responsible commercial driver.
