Class B Driver's License and Endorsements Needed for a CDL Class B License

All Candidates for the Class B CDL license must complete the following requirements:

  • You must pass a General Knowledge exam. This is required for any type of CDL license.
  • You must pass the Air Brakes test.
  • You must pass the Pre-trip inspection.

Vehicle weight determines the class of a Commercial Drivers License. There are three class categories: A, B, and c. For the Class B CDL Test, candidates must take the General Knowledge test (which are required for all CDL licenses) plus any additional endorsement tests needed for the Class B CDL License. The CDL candidate must also complete an actual driving test in the vehicle that falls into the Class B weight class.

Federal law requires that all states issue a CDL to drivers according to license classifications. Here are the Class designations from the Federal Government:

  • Class A License - Any combination of vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds. For example, a Fuel Truck, a Cargo Truck (Semi), or Doubles.
  • Class B License - Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing a vehicle not in excess of 10,000 pounds GVWR. For example, a Fire Truck, a Dump Truck, a Garbage Truck, or a Cement Mixer Truck.
  • Class C License - Any single vehicle, or combination of vehicles, that does not meet the definition of Class A or Class B, but is either designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver, or is placarded for hazardous materials. For example, a School Bus or a Passenger Bus.

Just wanted to say thank you; as you promised, I passed my CDL tests including all endorsements on the first try. My examiner said, "Boy, somebody studied! I am very impressed."

Your design is a refreshing, real-world approach to understanding and retaining the information I need to pass the most difficult of the CDL endorsements, such as the Hazmat test.

Thanks for the commitment to quality! T.C., Detroit, MI
