Free Utah CDL Permit Practice Test: General Knowledge 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

In the United States, there are three main classes of Commercial Driver Licenses (CDLs). A Class A CDL allows you to operate a combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, provided the towed vehicle(s) has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 10,000 pounds. This class of CDL is generally for operating semi-trucks and tractor-trailers. A Class B CDL allows you to operate a single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more or a combination of vehicles where the towed vehicle has a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less. This class of CDL is generally for large buses and straight trucks, including box trucks and most dump trucks. A Class C CDL is for other kinds of commercial vehicles that transport hazardous materials or at least 16 occupants (including the driver). This class of CDL is generally for small buses (including shuttle buses) or small trucks carrying hazardous materials.

No matter which class of CDL you plan to get, you must meet a series of requirements. Notably, you must pass an official skills test, which includes basic vehicle maneuvers, a pre-trip inspection test, and a road test. To be sure of passing this test, you must practice commercial driving under supervision until you’re proficient. And for that, you’ll need a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP).

To obtain a CLP, you must meet certain requirements too, including passing the official General Knowledge test on the basic theory of commercial driving. The questions on this test are based on the official Utah Commercial Driver’s License Manual (Utah CDL Handbook 2025). If you’ve found absorbing the material in this manual to be tough going, perhaps you need a little more help.

This free Utah CDL permit practice test, which you’re about to take, is based on the official CDL manual, just like the official knowledge test. It’s up to date as of November, 2025. There are 50 multiple-choice practice questions on such topics as basic maneuvers, following distance, driving emergencies, and vehicle components. If you get stuck on a question, use the available hint. If you still miss a question, read the explanation of the correct answer carefully so you won’t make that same mistake again. You can also ask our automated assistant for even more help. With us, there’s no time limit; take all the time you need to learn and master the material covered by this practice test.

Be sure to try our other CDL General Knowledge practice tests too.

Had very little time to study, 7 days, but I passed.
I had very little time to study, 7 days, but I passed! User friendly, clear and concise. Useful and helpful information and I passed!

State specific.
Failed my CDL class B exam after using a free study guide online. The Utah DMV Officer agreed with me that those free study guides are not State specific. (You would think that the Federal DOT and the state DOT departments would be on the same page making all tests in all states identical { they aren't}). Driving-tests.org was state specific. 98% pass. Thank you!

I was getting ready to take the CDL….
I was getting ready to take the CDL written test after reading through the Commercial License Hand Book for my state. I also looked around the internet to see if I could find some of the questions that may be on the written CDL test for my state. My search came back with a free CDL test from driving-tests.org for my state. So I started the free test and failed basically right off the bat. The questions I did get correct were in the Commercial Driver License Hand Book but there were way more questions on the drivers-tests.org test then were in the drivers CDL hand book that I would need to pass the written CDL test. So I signed up for the program for my state and took advantage of all the questions tests they have. The CDL general test(s) and Break restriction test(s), combination vehicle test(s), double/triple trailer test(s) and finally the tanker endorsement test(s). I was able to pass all the tests with the help of some of the products I found driving-tests.org. I definitely recommend the test products on driving-tests.org. I would not have my CDL permit right without their assistance.

After reviewing all of my options….
So far this has been a lot of fun as well as easier, thank you for the program. I have studied and studied and have taken many notes and will do more notes,it is hard due to I dont drve a rig so to teach an old guy new tricks with out actually doing ( driving a rig) is hard for my brain to asorb but it is working.

Dear future CDL drivers,.
I hope you are doing ok and still want to pass the general knowledge, air brakes,combination vehicles and more endorsements. driving-tests.org is the best way to avoid failures in these requirements in any State.Believe me, I was struggling but now I have my permit and I can move forward. Check it out right now and you will thank me later.

This training is exactly what I needed.
Since Feburary 7, 2022, the new Fmsca rule requires a training course in order to upgrade a CDL to hazmat. I was given this company website by a friend and I took the course, passed all of the online training test and then passed the hazmat test at the DOT office with no problem. I now have my hazmat endorsement. thank you for making this process simpler than I thought that it would be.
