The knowledge tested here is federal (FMCSA) and identical nationwide -- what varies by state is who administers it and under what terms. Researched directly from Service Oklahoma, in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS)'s own site, verified 2026-09-03.
Class A: $81.50 (4-year) or $138.00 (8-year); Class B: $71.50 (4-year) or $128.00 (8-year); Class C: $61.50 (4-year) or $108.00 (8-year)
Minimum CLP hold before road test
14 full days — official page: '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.'
CLP validity
180 days, renewable one time for an additional 180 days (max ~360 days total) — reported by secondary aggregator citing 47 O.S. §47-6-101; not independently confirmed via direct fetch of an official page with that figure
Retake wait after a failed knowledge test
First three attempts may be retaken at least 1 day apart (or as instructed by the examiner); fourth attempt onward requires at least a 30-day wait between tests. A $4.00 fee applies to each failed attempt. (Policy appears on Service Oklahoma's general Drive Test Center page, which covers both regular and CDL testing.)
Spanish-language knowledge test
English only
Confirmed by official Service Oklahoma FAQ: 'At this time, the written test is only available in English.' No 2025/2026 policy change was found for Oklahoma specifically — the written test already appears to have been English-only, unlike Texas's active June 1, 2026 discontinuation of a previously-offered Spanish test. Separate from the federal FMCSA English Language Proficiency roadside enforcement now in effect nationally.
Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from an FMCSA Training Provider Registry-listed provider is required before testing.
Oklahoma offers a restricted farm CDL, valid 180 days per year, limited to Class B commercial motor vehicles, generally for use within about 150 miles of the farm; a registered farm vehicle operated for farm purposes may not require a CDL at all under the federal 'covered farm vehicle' exemption.
A 'K' restriction code is added to a CDL/CLP for drivers certifying as intrastate-only.
5 real sample questions

C. To reduce the number of miles logged for the day
D. To avoid having to fill out any paperwork later
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. To find problems that could cause a crash or breakdown before they happen on the road

Under the 30-minute break requirement in 49 CFR 395.3, a driver must take a break after accumulating how many cumulative hours of driving time?
A. 4 hours
B. 6 hours
C. 8 hours
D. 10 hours
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: C. 8 hours

A roadside inspector determines that a commercial motor vehicle has a safety defect serious enough to be an immediate hazard. What is the inspector authorized to do under 49 CFR 396.9?
A. Issue a warning only, since only the motor carrier can pull a vehicle from service
B. Declare the vehicle "out of service" until the defect is corrected
C. Impound the vehicle permanently
D. Fine the driver but allow the vehicle to continue to the next scheduled stop
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. Declare the vehicle "out of service" until the defect is corrected
A: 396.9 gives the inspector authority to declare the vehicle out of service, not merely to warn.
C: Out-of-service means repaired and released, not permanent impoundment.
D: An out-of-service order prohibits further operation until the defect is fixed, not a fine-and-continue arrangement.

Under the federal tire tread depth standard, what is the minimum tread depth allowed in any major tread groove on a steering axle tire?
A. 1/32 inch
B. 2/32 inch
C. 4/32 inch
D. 6/32 inch
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: C. 4/32 inch
A: 1/32 inch is below the federal minimum for any position.
B: 2/32 inch is the minimum for tires on axles other than the steering axle.
D: 6/32 inch is deeper than the regulation requires, though additional depth is never unsafe.
Source: 49 CFR 393.75
What is the minimum tread depth required on non-steering axle tires of a commercial motor vehicle?
A. 1/32 inch
B. 2/32 inch
C. 3/32 inch

Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. 2/32 inch
A: 1/32 inch is too shallow to meet the federal standard for any tire position.
C: 3/32 inch is not the regulatory threshold; the rule specifies 2/32 inch for non-steering tires.
D: 4/32 inch is the steering-axle minimum, not the standard for other axle positions.
