CDL Permit Pass Pro: References

Last checked: October 11, 2026

CDL Permit Pass Pro is an independent study aid and is not a government app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the FMCSA, or any state DMV or licensing agency, and it does not represent any government entity. Practice questions are not official test questions.

This page lists sources cited in the app’s practice questions and, for reference, the official CDL manual for each state. It is meant to help you find and read the official version yourself. Rules and test content change, so always use your state’s current official CDL manual, and confirm anything that matters on the agency’s own website.
