Finding a Vehicle for your Skills Exam

You must obtain an unloaded representative vehicle of the CDL Class you are testing for. We do not provide testing vehicles for the CDL Skills Test.

If you have previous experience and would like to know more about taking a your CDL Skills Exam, please visit our Skills Assessment page. 

Your vehicle must:

  • Be in working condition and safe to drive.
  • Have current registration, insurance, and DOT Annual Inspection paperwork.
  • Be equipped with functioning Emergency Equipment to include fuses, 3 triangles, and a working fire extinguisher.

Government vehicles ARE NOT exempt from providing valid insurance, registration, and DOT Safety Inspection paperwork. 

Class C vehicles ARE NOT exempt from providing valid insurance, registration, and DOT Safety Inspection paperwork. 

If you are driving the testing vehicle to the exam site, you must have a licensed Commercial Driver in the vehicle with you. It is illegal to operate the vehicle alone until you have passed the CDL Skills Exam and received your license. 

For Class B Tests

You cannot test for a Class B in a tractor without a trailer. A tractor is classified as a power unit and not a true representative Class B vehicle.

Ineligible Vehicles: 

We are not able to test any vehicles that have:

  • A School Bus plate
  • HazMat placards
  • Tanker vehicles used to transport materials such as propane*

* We can test water tankers but you need to have the tanker endorsement on your permit.
