About the Test
What the Texas CDL Skills Test Involves
The Texas CDL skills test is administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and consists of three parts: the pre-trip vehicle inspection, the Basic Control Skills (BCS) test on a closed range, and the road test on public roads.
Pre-trip inspection: You must demonstrate knowledge of vehicle systems and identify any defects before driving. This is assessed verbally and visually — you walk around the truck and explain what you are checking.
Basic Control Skills: The BCS test evaluates your ability to maneuver the vehicle in a controlled area. The modernized Texas BCS test includes straight-line backing, offset backing, and precise stopping.
Road test: You drive on public roads with a DPS examiner evaluating your observation habits, lane positioning, turning technique, speed management, and overall safety.
