CDL Permit Ready is an independent study app made by SimpleDuo. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the FMCSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, or any state driver licensing agency. It is study material, not driving instruction, and it does not issue permits or licenses.
OFFICIAL SOURCES
Every question in this app is written from, and cited to, the official public documents below. Read them yourself — the full list with direct links is at https://cdl.simpleduo.com/sources
• 49 CFR Part 383 — CDL standards and requirements
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/part-383
• 49 CFR Part 393 — parts and accessories for safe operation

Your first driving paycheck is waiting on one test. CDL Permit Ready is CDL permit practice test prep: ten minutes a day and a readiness score that tells you the day you're actually safe to book your CLP knowledge test.
WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU
• You stop guessing. Readiness models what you'll still remember on exam day — not how many questions you've clicked through. When it reads 90%, book.
• You stop wasting evenings. Spaced review brings each miss back right before you'd forget it, and skips what you already know. A question counts as mastered only once you've had it right twice, days apart.
• You walk in having already passed — three times. The CLP is separate exams, and the mocks mirror that: General Knowledge (50 questions, 60 minutes), Air Brakes (25 questions), and Combination Vehicles (20 questions), each timed and scored at the real 80% pass line.
SPANISH, DONE HONESTLY
Turn on "Ayuda en español" and every question, every answer choice, and every explanation shows Spanish under the English. The real test is in English — the Spanish is there to make sure you understand it, never to replace it. Terminology is checked against the official Spanish-language CDL handbooks (perno maestro, mandíbulas, frenos de aire), not machine-translated on the fly.
WHY YOU CAN TRUST THE ANSWERS
Every question carries a plain-English explanation and a citation to the CDL manual section or federal rule it came from, so you can always check our work against the source. The bank is written from the official state CDL manuals and 49 CFR Parts 383 and 393, and every numeric claim — air-pressure limits, tread depths, BAC, permit validity — is machine-traced to those texts before it ships.
YOUR STATE
The core rules are federal and the bank covers them in depth. Pick your test state in setup or Settings; Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Ohio get state-specific questions folded into your plan, with more states on the way.
WHAT WE WON'T CLAIM
No pass rate, no "3× faster". We have no study on this app that would let us say those things. What we stand behind: the content is checked against primary sources and cited, and the plan doesn't spend your time on questions you already know.
