Ron Davis was laid off by RCA, a corporation taken over by G.E., where he had worked for years. At a loss, a friend told him, ''If you have a driver's license, you should never be without a job - especially if you keep a clean record.'' This is a suggestion he heeded and passes on to others now through his workbook of practice tests for commercial driver's licenses (CDL) exams.

The tests covered in Ron Davis's CDL Workbook include: general knowledge, air brakes, combination vehicles, passenger transport, hazardous materials, tanks, and double/triple trailers. A ''Bus Driver's Bonus'' is included, offering a well-rounded review of typical examination questions.

This review is from: Cdl Workbook: Everything You Need to Know to Pass Your Test (Paperback)

I bought this book to help me prepare to pass the CDL test. When it arrived, I couldn't actually believe that I had spent $10 for this "book." Let me tell you what the description fails to divulge. The pages contain multiple choice tests - there's no content or substance to this book. It doesn't teach you anything. There's no feedback on why certain answers are wrong. You just know that you either guessed correctly or guessed wrong. I really hoped this "book" would teach me the key material so that I could feel confident I was ready for the CDL test. The author spent more time writing the "acknowledgement" and "about the author" than including anything that might teach you the information to get a CDL.

If you do a Google search, you can find cheap, sample multiple choice questions for the CDL permit, just like this book is full of. They won't help you learn what you need to know. After this disappointment, I spend some time looking for really good CDL training resources online. I found a site [...] that offers a full online cdl permit training course with video, pictures, audio and interactive feedback. I'm going to sign up for a subscription so I can learn the info I need to pass the test.

Good luck to everyone studying to get their CDL!
