CHOOSE YOUR TEXAS CDL PATH
Texas CDL license types and vehicle options
Your CDL class, endorsements and restrictions depend on the vehicle you intend to operate and the applicable Texas DPS requirements. Use this overview to explore the appropriate service page, then verify the requirements for your vehicle and situation with Texas DPS.
Class A: combination vehicles
Class A commonly applies to qualifying truck-and-trailer combinations. Review the combination you intend to operate, its weight ratings, braking system and transmission when planning your permit study and skills test.
Class A truck rental and familiarization · Class B to Class A upgrade · Hotshot vehicle options
Class B: single commercial vehicles
Class B commonly applies to qualifying single commercial vehicles. Vehicle configuration, brake system and transmission matter when selecting the vehicle for your Texas DPS skills test. Confirm the vehicle suitable for your license goal before reserving.
Passenger and school bus paths
Passenger and school bus endorsements address additional operating responsibilities and testing requirements. The CDL class and vehicle must also fit the bus configuration. Ask about the passenger or school bus available, permit and endorsement requirements, and any applicable theory and behind-the-wheel activity.
Knowledge tests, ELDT and vehicle rental
These are separate parts of planning your CDL path. CLP preparation supports knowledge-test study. Online ELDT theory and in-person ELDT range and road address applicable federal training requirements. A Texas DPS test vehicle rental provides vehicle use for your appointment and does not guarantee a passing result or establish ELDT completion.
