Frequently asked questions

Who takes the combination vehicles test?

Applicants seeking a Class A CDL generally take this test because Class A vehicles commonly consist of a power unit towing one or more units.

Why are combination vehicles more likely to roll over?

They are longer, may have a high center of gravity, and can amplify steering movement through the combination, especially when entering curves too fast.

Should the trailer hand valve be used for parking?

No. It is used to test trailer brakes. Parking with it can allow air to leak away and release the brakes.
