Failing any one CDL skills test will require an applicant to repeat or re-test ON A DIFFERENT DAY. DOT certified third-party testing is available for individuals seeking to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). This testing offers an alternative to testing with the State DMV. Equipment for testing is not provided. You must provide a vehicle that is in good working order and is representative of the class of license you are applying for. The following CDL Skills Tests are required and MUST be passed in order: Pre-Trip Test – Vehicle Inspection Skills Test – Basic Backing Maneuvers on Closed Course Road Test – Driving on Public Roadways. Upon successfully passing all three tests in the series you may obtain your CDL at any driver's license issuance location.
