Maryland CDL Class A Practice Exam 2026

This is a flagship page: the Maryland Class A CDL practice test that top freight jobs demand. Use it as your class A drivers license practice test and class A permit practice test in one, a 2026 rehearsal that also answers the questions truckers ask most, the types of CDL, the CDL classifications, and the 3 types of CDL license.

Here is how the classes break down. Class A covers a combination over 26,001 pounds towing a trailer over 10,000 pounds, the tractor-trailers that dominate Port of Baltimore container runs. Class B is a single vehicle over 26,001 pounds, such as a straight truck or bus. Class C is reserved for smaller vehicles that haul placarded hazardous materials or carry 16-plus occupants. The written general knowledge exam is identical for all three.

That shared exam is 50 questions with an 80 percent passing score, 40 correct, under FMCSA rules; your Class A comes from the combination-vehicle skills test. When a classification detail blurs, read that page of the Maryland CDL Manual before you retry. Master this Class A rehearsal and you position yourself for the best-paying seats on the 2026 Maryland MVA road.
