Furthermore, heading over to our Utah CDL Practice Test is the most reliable way to  access a free practice question bank and numerous flashcards. Let’s try it!

• The general knowledge test: It is taken by all applicants.

Besides, the tank is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or chassis.

2. What to expect on the skills test? 

After passing the required knowledge test(s), you can take the CDL skills tests. There are three types of general skills that will be tested: 

2.1. Vehicle inspection: 

You will be assessed whether you know your vehicle is safe to drive or not. More specifically, you will be asked to do an vehicle inspection and explain to your examiner what you would inspect and why

2.2. Basic vehicle control: 

In this part, you will be tested on moving your vehicle forward, backward, and turning it within a defined area marked with traffic lanes, cones, barriers, or something similar.

2.3. On-road driving: 

You will be tested on your skill to safely drive your vehicle in a variety of traffic situations including left and right turns, intersections, railroad crossings, curves, up and down grades, single or multi-lane roads, streets, or highways. The examiner will tell you where to drive.

Bear in mind that you are required to take these tests in the type of vehicle for which you wish to be licensed.
