What Does the CDL Road Test Consist Of?
The CDL road test can take two-and-a-half hours to complete. It is divided into three different parts:
01.
Inspection
This portion takes one hour. The student inspects the inside and outside of the truck to ensure everything is in check.
02.
Parking skills
In this portion, students must show they can park the truck up to six different ways. This could take one hour.
03.
Road driving
The student is tested on their ability to operate the truck safely in all kinds of situations. This takes about 30 minutes.
BEWARE: Most people fail their CDL road test on the pre-trip inspection, so we recommend getting the proper CDL driver training at Driving Academy.
