2.0 out of 5 stars Too much fluff; use state manual instead, March 24, 2005
By RobertR "RR" (New York) - See all my reviews
I started out with the New York state CDL test prep book that you get free from DMV. It seemed a little stodgy with older illustrations. I ordered this book thinking it would be much clearer, better illustrations, and more up-to-date. I was wrong. This book is WAY too much fluff, full of info you don't need to know, overmentions law numbers as if that's important, and is basically a big disappointment. Please, Barron's EDIT this training manual...it's full of inconsistencies and poor writing. I have wasted ~10 precious hours trying to get through this. Now I'm back on the NY manual and, boy is it ever straight-forward. I will probably use the Barron's book for the practice tests, but I'm sorry I ordered it originally and then wasted study time trying to get through it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginner's, July 27, 2005
By SPD Law (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
I have had my CDL for 5 years. If you don't drive for a while, you need refresher training. This book worked great and from what I remember of my original training, this book would have been great for familiarizing beginner's to the entire CDL process. The pre/post tests per chapter help know where your weaknesses are. A lot of the questions were on my original CDL test, so it is up to date. Great job Barron's!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but..., May 24, 2007
By Mark Twain "Kuba" (Chicago, IL or Ottawa, ON while on contract) - See all my reviews
It is a good source of information to use as a reference or addition to for example interactive software tests such as the CDL COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE MANUAL by AplusB Software Corporation, visualised software application that helps keep you focused on the information.
