Overview
General Knowledge covers the core rules, safe driving practices, vehicle inspection steps, and cargo basics every commercial driver must know before getting behind the wheel.
When Is This Useful?

Who Is This For?
Anyone applying for a CDL for the first time, and drivers who need a refresher before adding a class or endorsement.
Topics Covered
CDL General Knowledge covers the rules of the road specific to commercial vehicles: following distance, speed limits, lane changes, and right-of-way. These questions appear on every CDL written test regardless of class or endorsement.
Drivers must understand how to properly secure, distribute, and inspect cargo before moving. Overloaded or unsecured loads are a leading cause of CDL violations and roadside out-of-service orders.
Federal law requires CDL holders to complete a pre-trip inspection and certify the vehicle is safe before moving. The test covers specific inspection steps in the correct sequence as examiners expect to see them performed.
Knowing how to respond to brake failures, tire blowouts, skids, and accident situations is tested on the General Knowledge exam. Proper emergency response can prevent a minor mechanical issue from becoming a serious crash.
Commercial vehicles need significantly more space to stop, turn, and maneuver than passenger vehicles. Understanding following distance, clearance heights, and sight lines is critical for both the written test and safe operation.
