What You’ll Learn Before the CDL Exam
At Apex Technical Institute, formerly Apex CDL Institute, we follow a four-week training structure to prepare students for the Class A CDL written and road exams.
- In week one, you will have classroom instruction and earn your CDL permit.
- In week two, you’ll dive into the pre-trip inspection and spend most of your time behind the wheel practicing various backing maneuvers.
- In week three, you learn advanced driving techniques, including parallel parking and docking.
- By week four, it all comes together! You’ll take your skills to the open road, with your instructor guiding you every step of the way.
What’s Inside the CDL Study Guide
This guide is a free resource to help CDL applicants to review the exam material. It covers ELDT topics such as:
- Safe vehicle operation and inspection
- Air brakes and combination vehicles
- Driver safety and disqualifications
- Transporting cargo, passengers, and hazardous materials
- and MORE!
The last eight pages are consolidated key facts in three sections: general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles. This moves away from the testbook information and is designed to sharpen your recall before the exam.
