Complete CDL Exam Study Guide & Test Prep Book 2023 & Beyond
Have you ever thought about becoming a professional truck driver? Are you looking for a comprehensive resource for passing the CDL exam? My book will teach you everything you need to know to pass your CDL test!
There’s no better time to consider becoming an OTR trucker.
The trucking industry is still in the midst of a huge driver shortage.
You are needed.
I was an OTR driver for more than a decade. Due to a back surgery, I had to transition into the teaching line, thanks to my bachelor’s in education degree I had received from Texas Southern University. I spent another 15 years as an instructor for a name-brand trucking school in Houston, Texas.
I recently retired from my teaching job and decided to put together this study guide to help people achieve their goals. While I knew I could never replace the state CDL manuals, I knew I could add to the overall body of knowledge.
CDL can be the key to financial and open-road freedom
It’s my goal to make you feel confident not only in your decision but also in your ability to learn the material and ace the test. Gaining your CDL is only the first step in a lifelong driving career. Financial freedom and freedom of the open road.
Whether you want to be an over-the-road (OTR) truck driver carrying hazardous materials or you want to be a school bus driver, this guide will help you achieve your dream. Sometimes, all a person needs is the opportunity and little help to get over the hump.
This new guide has a wealth of easy-to-understand study materials
I packed a lot in these chapters; you will find the guide easy to follow, simple to understand, and, best of all, a comprehensive, all-inclusive study guidebook.
Consider this study guide, complete with practice test questions, your opportunity.
You will learn everything you need to know to ace the CDL test!
- Class A CDL
- Class B CDL
- Class C CDL
- The CDL permit, an overview
- All endorsements explained in detail
- N tank vehicle

They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, and the trials and tribulations of life as a trucker. His tales are often funny, sometimes sad, cringeworthy, or unbelievable. Many are the results of what he calls "just plain stupidity."

On the afternoon of April 4, 1977, Georgia housewife Sadie Burkhalter Hurst looked out her front door to see a frantic stranger running toward her, his clothes ablaze, and, behind him, the mangled fuselage of a passenger plane that had just crashed in her yard. The plane, a Southern Airways DC-9-31, had been carrying 81 passengers and four crew members en route to Atlanta when it entered a massive thunderstorm cell that turned into a dangerous cocktail of rain, hail, and lightning. Forced down onto a highway, the plane cut a swath of devastation through the small town of New Hope.

In the spring of 2010 the world watched for weeks as more than 200 million gallons of crude oil billowed from a hole three miles deep in the Gulf of Mexico. Warnings of various and imminent environmental consequences dominated the news. Deepwater drilling - largely ignored or misunderstood to that point - exploded in the American consciousness in the worst way possible. Fire on the Horizon, written by veteran oil rig captain John Konrad and longtime Washington Post journalist Tom Shroder, recounts in vivid detail the life of the rig itself, from its construction to its improbable journey in the year 2000 to its end.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 81
On July 25, 2000, a Concorde, the world's fastest passenger plane, was taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris when it suddenly burst into flames. An airliner capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the Concorde had completed 25 years of successful flights, whisking wealthy passengers - from diplomats to rock stars to corporate titans - between continents on brief and glamorous flights. Yet on this fateful day, the chartered Concorde jet, en route to America, crashed and killed all 109 passengers and crew onboard and four people on the ground.

Physical infrastructure in the United States is crumbling. The American Society of Civil Engineers has, in its latest report, given American roads and bridges a grade of D and C+, respectively, and has described roughly 65,000 bridges in the United States as 'structurally deficient'. This crisis - and one need look no further than the I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota to see that it is indeed a crisis - shows little sign of abating short of a massive change in attitude amongst politicians and the American public.

On the afternoon of April 4, 1977, Georgia housewife Sadie Burkhalter Hurst looked out her front door to see a frantic stranger running toward her, his clothes ablaze, and, behind him, the mangled fuselage of a passenger plane that had just crashed in her yard. The plane, a Southern Airways DC-9-31, had been carrying 81 passengers and four crew members en route to Atlanta when it entered a massive thunderstorm cell that turned into a dangerous cocktail of rain, hail, and lightning. Forced down onto a highway, the plane cut a swath of devastation through the small town of New Hope.

The plane's pilot, Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, managed to glide it to a safe landing in the Hudson River. It was an instant media sensation---the "Miracle on the Hudson"---and Captain Sully was the hero. But how much of the success of this dramatic landing can actually be credited to the genius of the pilot?

The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the moon, during Apollo 11, had complicated roots dating back over a decade; it also involved one of NASA's most infamous tragedies. Landing on the moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government's urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel).
