What Happens if I Fail the CDL Exam?

Students wanting to become truck drivers always have one thing on their mind: the CDL exam. The reality is that it isn’t that uncommon to fail the exam, especially on your first try. The written CDL exam is made up of mostly regulations and rules that can be studied, but the driving exam is what makes most students nervous.

It is common to feel nervous, but it is nothing to stress over. Staying calm about the upcoming exam is the best thing to do. Staying calm will help prevent mistakes and staying focused will make it easier to pass the exam. 

If you do happen to fail the exam, you can always take the test again. Once your instructors are confident that you have improved, you can retake the exam.
