Use the official state source whenever possible

CDL manuals change as state requirements, testing procedures, and federal standards are updated. This directory prioritizes links to official state agency pages instead of redistributing third-party or potentially outdated copies.

Important publication and copyright note

A manual supplied to the project is not automatically treated as the latest official version. Some state manuals incorporate AAMVA copyrighted material with distribution restrictions. For that reason, this page links users to official State Driver Licensing Agency sources whenever practical rather than republishing manuals without confirmed permission.

  • Verify the publication date and any state supplement before testing or relying on a manual.
  • State-specific requirements may differ from the model CDL manual.
  • For regulatory questions, use the current eCFR and the CDL Resource Guide Cross-Reference Tool.
  • The supplied ZIP is a source inventory for this update; its PDFs are not automatically hosted or redistributed by this webpage. Publish individual PDFs only after confirming rights, accessibility, and current-edition status.
