Topics Covered
Moving from Class B to Class A means operating vehicles with very different handling: longer wheelbase, trailer swing, and off-tracking on turns. This module explains the physics behind combination vehicle behavior as tested on the Combination Vehicles knowledge exam.
Proper coupling procedure is a primary topic on the Combination Vehicles written test and a required demonstration during the Class A skills test. You will learn the sequence that must be followed correctly to pass both the written and practical portions.
Connecting and managing the service and emergency air lines between tractor and trailer is a skill Class B drivers do not typically practice. The exam tests both the correct connection procedure and what happens when those connections fail at speed.
Class A drivers commonly operate in interstate commerce, where federal Hours of Service rules govern maximum drive time, required rest periods, and logging requirements. This section covers the limits, exceptions, and logging concepts that appear on the CDL knowledge exam.
