According to the Rapid City Journal, South Dakota is known for many things, but some people may not realize that it is also a "international export powerhouse." The $1.6 billion in exports that our state generates each year frequently begin their journey out of state in a commercial vehicle driven by someone just like you. Getting your CDL means becoming a part of that economy, and this exam will help you get there by allowing you to practice answering 50 multiple-choice questions based on the South Dakota Commercial Driver License Manual, covering everything from brakes to cargo laws. Each question comes with a hint and an explanation, which you should read attentively because it will help you better comprehend the subject.
