North Dakota Class B CDL Practice Questions and License Guide

This North Dakota Class B CDL practice page is built around the 100 questions currently saved in the bank. The mixed set covers general knowledge, air brakes, hazardous materials, tank vehicles, passenger transport, and school bus material. It does not include the combination-vehicle or doubles/triples modules used for regular Class A combination operations. Specialty modules are study coverage, not a claim that every Class B applicant must take every endorsement test. NDDOT ties required knowledge tests, endorsements, restrictions, and the road-test vehicle to the commercial operation you plan to perform. First-time Class B applicants must also account for federal Entry-Level Driver Training rules. Use the questions to review the topics actually present in this bank, then use the guide below to separate the core Class B path from conditional endorsement, medical, training, and vehicle-specific requirements.

LICENSING GUIDE

What to know before you test

Use this overview together with the latest official guidance linked below.

Confirm that Group B matches the heavy straight vehicle you plan to operate

North Dakota defines Group B as a single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more, or such a vehicle towing a vehicle with a GVWR not over 10,000 pounds. A combination with a towed vehicle over 10,000 pounds may fall into Group A instead. The saved Class B bank reflects that distinction: it emphasizes general knowledge and Class B-relevant specialty areas rather than the regular Class A combination-vehicle and doubles/triples modules. NDDOT also makes clear that endorsement and restriction requirements depend on the vehicle, equipment, cargo, and service you actually operate.

Prepare the application, identity documents, medical qualification, and CLP steps

NDDOT directs CDL applicants to apply in person at a driver license site. Before testing, applicants must present a current driver license, proof of legal presence, and proof of residence address, make an application, and pass an eye examination. Applicants must also meet the federal medical requirements that apply to their commercial operation. After passing the required knowledge test or tests for the CDL class and privileges sought, the applicant purchases a commercial learner permit. NDDOT states that the CLP must have been earned at least 14 days before a road test can be scheduled, and the road test must be taken in a representative commercial vehicle.

Complete federal ELDT when the Class B or endorsement application triggers it

FMCSA applies Entry-Level Driver Training to drivers obtaining a Class B CDL for the first time, as well as first-time applicants for the hazardous materials, passenger, or school bus endorsements. For a first-time Class B CDL, the required theory and behind-the-wheel training must be completed through a provider listed on the Training Provider Registry before the state-administered CDL skills test. First-time passenger and school bus endorsement applicants also complete applicable ELDT before their skills tests, while a first-time hazardous materials endorsement applicant completes the required theory training before the H knowledge test. These federal training rules are separate from the practice-bank question distribution.

Match specialty study modules to the endorsements and restrictions that apply to you

This bank contains 38 general-knowledge questions, 13 air-brake questions, 13 hazardous-materials questions, and 12 questions each for tank vehicles, passenger transport, and school buses. That is an editorial study distribution, not an NDDOT exam blueprint. NDDOT lists tank, passenger, school bus, and hazardous-materials privileges as conditional endorsements, while air-brake equipment can create restrictions when the required knowledge and road testing is not completed in appropriately equipped vehicles. Study the general material for the Class B foundation, then use the specialty modules that match the vehicle, cargo, passenger service, equipment, and endorsements you actually need.

REQUIREMENTS OVERVIEW

North Dakota CDL Class B requirements

Requirements depend on the applicant and can change. Verify each item with the cited agency.

age

North Dakota Class B CDL applicants, including applicants ages 18 through 20

NDDOT requires drivers to be at least 21 years old to cross state lines in commercial operation. Applicants ages 18 through 20 may apply for an intrastate CDL, and a special CDL restricted to custom harvesting operations may be available beginning at age 16.

documents

North Dakota commercial learner permit and Class B CDL applicants

Before CDL knowledge testing, NDDOT requires applicants to present a current driver license, proof of legal presence, and proof of residence address, then make an application and pass an eye examination. Applicants must also meet the medical qualification requirements that apply to their commercial operation.

tests

First-time North Dakota Class B CDL applicants and applicants seeking covered endorsements

Applicants must pass the knowledge test or tests required for the CDL class and privileges sought, obtain a commercial learner permit, hold it for at least 14 days before the road test, complete applicable Entry-Level Driver Training before the skills test, and pass a road test in a representative commercial vehicle. First-time H, P, and S endorsement applicants have additional federal ELDT requirements.

passing

North Dakota CDL applicants taking required commercial knowledge and road tests

North Dakota requires applicants to successfully pass the required CDL knowledge test or tests before a commercial learner permit is issued and to successfully complete the required road test before the CDL is issued.

applicability

North Dakota Class B applicants and Class B holders studying endorsement-specific material

Group B applies to a single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more, or such a vehicle towing a vehicle not over 10,000 pounds GVWR. Endorsements and restrictions depend on the vehicle, equipment, cargo, and operation, so the specialty modules in this mixed practice bank do not all apply to every Class B applicant.
