Skills (Backing)

The Skills Testing

After passing the Pre-Trip Inspection, you must be able to perform basic skills maneuvers with the vehicle to pass your CDL testing.  These maneuvers are representative of those that might be performed on a daily basis with a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).

We will provide you the time to practice the required maneuvers, with a vehicle that is simple to operate and handle.  You will practice on the exact course layout you will then be tested on.  Samples are pictured below.

All of the maneuvers you will be tested on are explained in Chaper 12 of the CDL MANUAL

Trailer backing skills are a large part in the safe operation of a tractor/trailer, so it's a big part of the CDL Testing.

We are there one-on-one with you while you practice to "coach" you through doing everything correctly AND,
WE PROVIDE THE VEHICLE TO USE WHEN YOU TEST!
