Arkansas CDL Combination Vehicles: Uncoupling Test 2026

Dropping a trailer safely is just as procedural as hooking one up, and this Arkansas CDL combination uncoupling test walks the steps for 2026. You will position the rig straight, lower the landing gear until it just touches and takes a little weight, disconnect the air lines and electrical cord and secure them, and only then release the fifth wheel locking jaws.

This combination vehicle uncoupling drill stresses chocking the trailer wheels and confirming the ground will hold the landing gear before you pull out slowly from under the trailer. Rushing or skipping the weight transfer is how landing gear collapses, so Class A drivers follow the sequence every time.

How many combination questions appear on the written test is set by Arkansas, so look to your Arkansas CDL Manual for the number rather than assuming. Rehearse this uncoupling routine until it is second nature, and Arkansas DFA - Driver Services will see the careful habits an examiner wants.
