Study the CDL Driver Manual. The manual covers information for the general knowledge test, relevant to all CDL applicants. It also contains specific information on the classes and endorsements tests that are separate from the general knowledge test and require additional study as guide-lined in the manual.
Once you have successfully completed and passed the necessary written tests for the type of license you are trying to obtain, you will be issued paperwork to take to a Licensed Operator of your choice that will print a CLP for you. You must hold this permit for 14 full days before taking the drive test. You can take the skills test on the 15th day after holding your permit.
The CLP may include CDL endorsements and/or restrictions.
To make a CDL drive test appointment after holding your permit for 14 days, you will need to call the CDL scheduling phone number at 405-425-2196. Have your Driver License number and your availability ready when you call to schedule an appointment. A complete drive test usually takes about two hours.
You may also schedule a CDL drive test with a third-party examiner. Third Party examiners can administer drive tests to most applicants applying for a Class A, B, or C commercial driver license (some restrictions may apply).

More information on the skills test can be found in chapter 12 of the CDL Manual.

You will need to bring this certificate to any Service Oklahoma Licensing Office location.
