How hard is it to obtain a CDL?

Question

I am just wondering what all goes into obtaining a CDL of any class...

Answer 1

Here are some sites that include the state exams for as low as $19.99, these sites contain state by state information required to obtain a CDL. Good luck.

Answer 2

first thing is to enroll in a driving school, or if your getting it on your own as i did,, dmv get the books free of charge most states,, i took 6 tests for my cdl, general. hazmat,air brakes,combinations,road and hiway control, , also a walk around where you must identify all the parts , and then and incab air brake test, then you tak the driving exam, which includes parallel and reverse ,if you want hazmat , you have to have your finger prints done, and wait 6 months for a background check in tx the fee is 80 dollars or so,, good luck,, but if you want to drive,, most ompanys will hire you train you help you get your cdl and put you in youown truck

Answer 3

HERE IN NEW MEXICO (PROBABLY THE SAME WHERE U R )
FIRST U GET THE BOOKLETS ON SEVERAL CATAGORIES....LAWS, SFETY, AIR BRAKES, HAZMAT ETC
GO READ THEM AND TAKE THE TESTS
WITH A LEARNER'S PERMIT YOU GO TO A TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL AND GET ACTUAL TIME BEHIND THE WHEEL LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE AND MANUVER THE TRUCK
THE, WITH THEIR TRUCK YOU TAKE A DRIVING TEST
WITH THE NEW CDL IN HAND NOBODY WILL HIRE YOU
YOU TAKE YOUR CDL AND GO TO A TRUCKING COMPANY THAT WILL TELL U TO FORGET ALL YOU THINK YOU KNOW AND THEY ACTUALLY SEND YOU OVER THE ROAD WITH A TRAINER
AFTER THAT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET A JOB WITH THEM OR HIRE ON WITH SOMEONE LOCALLY

Answer 4

pretty easy actually.

1. go to the DMV and get a CDL manual.
2. study.
3. take the written tests (I had to take four for my CDL)
4. take a driving test.

If you study the manual the written test really isn't that bad.

good luck.
