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 October, 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.

Site has been a great asset in boosting my confidence to take the Utah CDL exam.
This site has been a great asset in boosting my confidence to take the Utah CDL exam. In addition to reading the Utah CDL manual I've benefited by taking the exam simulator tests offered here. After reading book cover to cover I review each endorsement section then test myself for reading retention. I've learned to closely read all exam questions; many times I found that I know the material however many questions can be written to trick the reader. The challenge feature allows user the ability to go back and review missed questions. This has been a great tool enabling me to quickly identify any sections for which I need to improve upon. I highly recommend this site to anyone looking to earn a Utah CDL!

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.

Excellent.
Absolutely excellent. I went over the course for two weeks and passed all of the required exams to get my CDL Permit. This program is 100% worth it. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get a CDL.

This is a great investment in my future!
I have an amazing job opportunity in front of me, I need to get my CDL permit. Before I found this site I was sitting reading the CDL manual for hours trying to understand it. Reading that manual and using the tools from this program beyond helpful and has really helped me get this information to stick in my mind. I feel more than ready to pass my CDL test! UPDATE! I followed the guidelines and took the practice tests, when I completed them it told me I had a 95% chance of passing. I printed the cheat sheets and studied them and went to the Secretary of State. I Passed Every Test AND Received ALL MY Needed Endorsements ON THE First TRY! When I returned to the counter after testing the Worker asked me how I thought I did? I said I passed everything! He said that rarely happens on the first try! He looked up my results and said WOW you passed everything on the first try! Congratulations! He even asked me if I took a class! This site W O R K S!

Short on time.
I am currently working in fla. and with my new job I needed my hazmat and tanker endorsement so when I went home to visit I only had a week to get everything done including my tanker and hasmat. I got my tanker endorsement with no problem. that left me with the hazmat certification testing and background chk to do with only a few days left. thankfully I found this and did my certification and kept studying did the course and back ground chk and I went straight to the bmv feeling good I went in took the test I was done in less than 10 mins 100% I couldn't believe it every question was in program. finished my visit with my family with 3 days left and no stress. thank you I couldn't have passed it with out this program

I don't think you should have to do a….
I don't think you should have to do a online hazmat course prior to gettting taking your hazmat test. But since you do, this site is the way to go. I was referred by a friend who just got his hazmat and it worked out well. Its the same information thats in the cdl manual but in video form so its easy to retain. Also they have enough tests that you have to pass that there is no way you will fail the written exam once you go to take it. I'll be recommending them to any drivers who need their hazmat.

Just passed the permit exam!
I took the marathon tests only needed to get my CDL learners permit and using those, going through them until I got every answer led to my passing the CDL permit exam for general, combination and air brakes! The manual was near useless. This website is why I passed. I'm very grateful.
