CDL Road Test Tips: Safe Driving, Mirror Checks & Low Clearance Rules The CDL road test is designed to mock a real driving experience, which means your examiner isn’t just looking for basic turns.

HOW TO DO A PERFECT FORWARD STOP ON THE CDL ROAD TEST! 🚛 You don’t need speed—slow and steady wins here. Yes, you CAN use your brakes, but you only get ONE stop.

Do it right, and that’s a successful forward stop every time! 😉 Want to get your CDL license?!
