There are THREE parts to the Iowa CDL Skills Test
You must obtain a
Iowa CLP (commercial learners permit) prior to taking your Iowa CDL skills test.
Iowa Basic Control Skills Tests
- Straight line backing
- Offset right or left backing
- Alley dock backing
The backing control skills information for each representative "type"
vehicle is found in Section 12 of the
Free
Iowa CDL Handbook (Commercial Driver's License Manual).
The three-part Iowa CDL skills tests must be scheduled (often more than a week ahead).
They are given either by a Iowa state tester or by a Iowa state approved third party
tester. Depending on where you live, you will either have to provide a proper
vehicle or one will be provided for you. This may vary from location to location.

"Because of test anxiety, I procrastinated until I only had three days left before I needed my CDL permit before purchasing from you. I am holding my CDL permit. I wish I found your web site sooner. Thanks!
