It's not all that hard AS LONG AS YOU STUDY THE BOOK! Don't skip anything and take the practice tests from Welcome To Crist CDL's Online Testing Center
If you can pass all those you should be fine. 95 % of the questions are covered in the general knowledge, tanker, and air brakes chapters, but there were a couple that were covered in the first chapter about CDL licenses in general (like what kind of vehichles you can drive), so you may want to skim through that too. Good Luck.
Alright thanks A lot. I was trying to find a good site for practice tests but came up pretty empty. I probably would of went at like 4pm tomorrow also and would have been pissed that I was to late. Really appreciate it.

You can do it, but you don't need it unless you're planning on driving a truck for somone other than sanitation at some point.

Of course he is wrong,you can get your CDL with an A3 restriction,like others have said here before you don't need to have the DOT exam. If you do decide to take it,it is very quick.

Check your height/weight,eyes,ears,check your pulse,blood pressure,the make you squat,touch your toes and check for a hernia. The urine test is for sugar,no drug tests. If everything is ok you get the medical card/certificate on the spot(valid for up to 2 yrs). They should have all the forms there at the clinic.

The only part that is a pain in the a$$ is the first right turn when you come out of the meeting sight. It is a right turn right into the a stop sign. Alot of people dont see it until it is too late. There is another turn that flows into railroad crossing. The highway driving isnt too bad because it will be on the LIE and usually at that time of day there is a little traffic so you dont have to worry about too much. Always project that you know whats going on. Overexaggerate yourself looking at mirrors and checking everything out. Confidence is number 1. As far as the parralel park there is a trick to it. My teacher taught me in a school bus. But the trick is you pull up to the park. Obviously you get out and check behind the bus. Then when you start you turn the wheel 2 times. Start backing up and on the bus there is a circle reflector on the side. When the reflector shows that it is over the curb you turn the wheel 1.5 times to the left and finish. Im not saying that everybody is taking it in a bus but if you find a marker like the reflector on the vehicle you will make a perfect park every time. I didnt hit the curb once in the 10 one hour lessons I took or on the roadtest. Every time was a perfect park.
hey did you go to the queens trucking school in astoria? i'm taking my classes there and i have my road test in maspeth on the 27th of june. i'll also be taking my test on a school bus? thanx for all the info it's much appreciated
