Florida Class B Package

Class B Package for Florida CDL Applicants

Florida combines high port volume with year-round agriculture hauling and major construction freight demand. With citrus and produce hauling, port and cruise logistics, construction materials driving much of the freight in Florida, the Class B Package material below is the part of the Florida CDL that those employers screen for first.

Class B in Florida is General Knowledge plus Air Brakes, followed by a skills test in a straight truck or bus. Because so many Florida Class B jobs are buses, the package also covers the Passenger and School Bus tests.

Where Florida drivers use this

• Construction materials: dump trucks, concrete mixers, and boom trucks on construction sites
• Tourism supply chain: motorcoaches and tour buses (P endorsement)
• Construction materials: dump trucks, mixers, and flatbed tractors on construction routes
• Almost every Class A and Class B vehicle in Florida; skip this test and your CDL carries an L restriction
• Citrus and produce hauling: single-unit farm and packing-house trucks (many states offer a restricted farm CDL)

Most Florida CDL work runs the I-4, I-10, I-75 corridors and the Tallahassee area, so the examples in the practice questions lean on the vehicles and loads you will see there.

Testing, appointments, and fees are handled by Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. See the Florida CDL classes and Florida endorsements pages for the full licensing picture.

Common Florida questions

Is this Class B Package material specific to Florida?

Yes. The knowledge test content is federal (49 CFR 383), so the questions apply in Florida, and this page adds Florida details: where you test (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles), which Florida industries use this license, and the Florida corridors the examples are drawn from.

Where do I take the Class B Package knowledge test in Florida?

Knowledge tests are given by Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Bring your Florida driver license, proof of residency, and your medical certificate; most Florida offices require an appointment for CDL testing.

How long do I have to study the Florida Class B Package material?

Access lasts 120 days from purchase, which is enough to study, take the practice tests, and pass at Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles with time to spare. Retakes in Florida are allowed after a short wait, so a second attempt is covered too.
