Preparing for California CDL Tests - Taking California CDL Tests . . .
Our products help to
prepare you to be able to pass the required
California CDL Tests. The
actual CaliforniaCDL written tests must be taken in-person and with proper identification, at the
California state office under the authority and audit of Californiagovernment personnel. Our CDL training program is totally online and does not
include any training in an actual vehicle. After receiving your California CLP (commercial license permit), you will likely
need to get some behind-the-wheel experience to be able to pass the three-part
California CDL skills tests. You may choose to get this experience
through a friend, relative, employer or truck driving school. The actual CaliforniaCDL three-part skills tests will be given by either a Californiastate examiner or by a atate approved independant examiner. Depending upon the
location; the CDL test vehicle will be provided by the examiner, or will be the
responsibility of the applicant (a qualified CDL holder must be in the vehicle
until your CDL is issued).
California CDL Fees and Associated Costs . . .
The entire amount paid to us is strictly for the CaliforniaCDL Test Prep Program materials purchased on this website. YOU are responsible
for additional California CDL fees as established under CaliforniaState and/or Federal law and rules, third party testers, medical examiners, finger
printing, background checks, truck rental fees, etc., as may be applicable.
