There are associated fees with the CDL (your company sponsored CDL training should cover all of those). It is highly recommended that you get a copy of your state’s CDL training manual. This is something the company should provide, but they are free (in most states).

The second step, after possessing the CLP for 14 days, you can take the CDL skills test. Check with your state regarding CDL training and prior to testing. If you are part of a company sponsored CDL training program they will take care of all of these requirements.
The good thing about a proper training program is that you will practice the inspection tests and the maneuvers that will be part of the test. It is mandatory that you pass the 3 testing categories.
They are referred to as the ‘skill test’, the vehicle inspection test, the basic controls test, and the actual road test. Unfortunately taking the test doesn’t guarantee you’ll pass so study and pay attention. Taking the Skills test is really not that hard if you practice and prepare, some states even allow study guides during testing.
