Walk the truck before you walk the truck. The pre-trip walkaround takes you around the vehicle in the order the examiner does — engine, cab, steering, brakes, coupling, trailer, lights, air-brake test — and asks you to say each check out loud before it shows you the words. More candidates fail the CDL on the walkaround than on the written test, because it is a recitation, and flipping cards does not rehearse one. Then every CDL knowledge test, with an explanation for every answer and, when you get one wrong, a line telling you exactly why the option you picked was wrong. That is the difference between memorising a question and knowing the rule on test day. WHAT IS COVERED • General Knowledge, the test everyone takes • Air Brakes, to get the L restriction off your license • Combination Vehicles, for Class A • HazMat (H), Tank Vehicles (N), Doubles & Triples (T) • Passenger Transport (P) and School Bus (S) • The pre-trip inspection, part by part, in the examiner's words BUILT AROUND YOUR TEST Tell the app your state, the class you are going for and which endorsements you need, and it builds a study plan. Add your test date and it works out a daily goal and reminds you. Mock exams use your state's question count and the 80% pass mark, and Exam Day runs every test in your plan back to back, the way the licensing office does it. STUDY THAT REMEMBERS WHAT YOU MISSED Questions you get wrong come back sooner. Questions you know come back later. Weak-spot sessions pull from the chapters where your accuracy is lowest, so your study time goes where it is needed rather than where it is comfortable. ENGLISH AND SPANISH Read every question in Spanish with the English original underneath. The real test is in English, so you learn the rule and the words it is asked in at the same time. WORKS ANYWHERE Everything is on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ads, and no internet needed once installed. Your progress never leaves your phone. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: every study guide, the first two chapters of every test, one mock exam per test, all flashcards and the full pre-trip walkaround, the library and your statistics. Premium unlocks every question, unlimited mock exams, Exam Day and the review sessions — try it free for 3 days, then weekly, or pay once for lifetime access. CDL Ready is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with the FMCSA or any state licensing agency, and it is not an ELDT training provider. Questions are written from the federal regulations and the CDL manual topics; they are not the actual test questions. Always check your state's agency for current rules and fees.
