    How hard is this test? Any particular area to concentrate on? The study guide was $50.

    The DMV now charges $50 for the "handbook" study guide. This amount can be deducted from the cost of your CDL.

    So they get paid for your CDL before you even get it?

    CDL is $92, you pay for the book and the privilege of taking the test, then once you pass the final CDL exam you pay $42 for the license.

    After your done (licensed) you have to turn the book in, if not they send you a bill for another $50.

    WOW:biggrin_2556: Here in Utah I went in to pick up my study guide and they gave me one, I said I had 2 buddies at work that were thinking about getting their CDL as well and the officer said here take 2 more and if you need help contact us and we will do our best.

    I am glad I took my exams here.

    No, No, No,----- the test packet is $50. The CDL study guide is free.
    With your test packet--you get three chances to pass the written-----after the third failure you will have to pay for another test packet (another$50.), then when the license is granted it is another $40. for the license.
    Any endorsements you want to add after youre issued the license is another $10.

    As for the test------ the gen knowledge is 50 questions, air brakes is 25 I think and Combos are 25 questions. Tankers is 20 I believe and haz mat is 25 if memory serves.
    Just went thru the process here in northern Ark. myself.
