Texas CDL General Knowledge Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT a class of CDL in Texas?

1. Class A

2. Class B

3. Class C

4. Class D

The correct answer is: Class D

In Texas, the Classes of Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) include Class A, Class B, and Class C, each designated for different types of commercial vehicles and operations. Class A licenses are intended for drivers operating a combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, where the vehicle being towed weighs more than 10,000 pounds. Class B licenses are for drivers operating single vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more or towing a vehicle not exceeding 10,000 pounds. Class C licenses cover smaller vehicles and are typically used for operations that involve transporting passengers or hazardous materials. Class D, however, does not exist as a recognized class of CDL in Texas. It is generally associated with a regular driver's license issued for operating personal vehicles and is not tailored for commercial driving needs. Thus, recognizing that Class D is not a CDL classification highlights the specific categories established for specialized commercial driving licensure in Texas.
