Complete CDL for North Dakota CDL Applicants

North Dakota's energy boom has dramatically increased HazMat and tanker CDL demand across the Bakken region. With oil and gas field services, grain and agriculture, coal and energy driving much of the freight in North Dakota, the Complete CDL material below is the part of the North Dakota CDL that those employers screen for first.

Everything North Dakota Department of Transportation can test a North Dakota CDL applicant on is here: all three classes, every endorsement, and the skills test. It is the right choice if you are not certain which North Dakota jobs you will take, or if your employer may add endorsements later.

Where North Dakota drivers use this

  • Grain and agriculture: liquid fertilizer and anhydrous ammonia tanks for the growing season
  • Agricultural equipment: juice, wine, and liquid food tankers where the crop calls for it
  • Agricultural equipment: farm labor crew buses carrying 16 or more workers
  • Transit agencies, charter companies, and church or community buses across North Dakota
  • North Dakota school districts and their contractors: every route driver needs S plus P

Most North Dakota CDL work runs the I-29, I-94 corridors and the Bismarck area, so the examples in the practice questions lean on the vehicles and loads you will see there. Weather, grades, and traffic on those routes are exactly the kinds of scenarios the North Dakota General Knowledge and skills tests describe.

Testing, appointments, and fees are handled by North Dakota Department of Transportation. See the North Dakota CDL classes and North Dakota endorsements pages for the full licensing picture.

Common North Dakota questions

Is this Complete CDL material specific to North Dakota?
Yes. The knowledge test content is federal (49 CFR 383), so the questions apply in North Dakota, and this page adds North Dakota details: where you test (North Dakota Department of Transportation), which North Dakota industries use this license, and the North Dakota corridors the examples are drawn from.
Where do I take the Complete CDL knowledge test in North Dakota?
Knowledge tests are given by North Dakota Department of Transportation. Bring your North Dakota driver license, proof of residency, and your medical certificate; most North Dakota offices require an appointment for CDL testing.
How long do I have to study the North Dakota Complete CDL material?
Access lasts 120 days from purchase, and you can take 180 or 365 days instead at checkout. That is enough to study, take the practice tests, and pass at North Dakota Department of Transportation with time to spare. Retakes in North Dakota are allowed after a short wait, so a second attempt is covered too.
Does North Dakota require anything extra for HazMat?
Yes. In addition to passing the H knowledge test at North Dakota Department of Transportation, North Dakota HazMat applicants must clear a TSA security threat assessment (fingerprint-based). The endorsement is renewed with the license and the TSA check is repeated.
