Questions before you start
Use the FAQ and CDL resources to compare Class A, Class B, permit prep, ELDT theory, endorsements, and what to review next.
Where should I start with CDL2GO?
Start with CDL Preparation if you are not sure what comes first. It gives you a clear place to understand the early CDL process, written-test preparation, online theory, and how Class A, Class B, B-to-A, and endorsements may fit your goal. After that, you can choose the page that matches what you are trying to do next without sorting through everything at once.
How do I know whether I need Class A or Class B?
If you already know the type of commercial vehicle or job you are aiming for, begin by comparing Class A and Class B. If you are still learning the basics, start with CDL Preparation first. It gives you a calmer overview of written-test preparation, license choices, and what usually comes before behind-the-wheel training so your next step makes more sense.
Is CDL2GO the same as a truck driving school?
No. CDL2GO is not a traditional truck driving school. CDL2GO helps with CDL preparation, online theory, license-type understanding, and endorsement guidance so you can make better sense of the process before or alongside hands-on training. Behind-the-wheel instruction, skills testing, and licensing decisions are handled by the appropriate training providers and licensing authorities. CDL2GO helps make the starting point clearer before you move forward.
What should I understand before starting CDL training?
Before starting CDL training, it helps to understand which CDL class may fit your goal, what the written-test or permit-prep step involves, and how theory, range, and public roads fit together. You do not need every detail at once. CDL2GO helps you review the first pieces clearly, then move toward Class A, Class B, B-to-A, endorsements, or online theory with less guesswork.
Can I use CDL2GO before choosing Class A or Class B?
Yes. CDL2GO can be useful before you choose Class A or Class B. You can review CDL basics, permit-prep topics, online theory context, and the difference between the main license types before committing to a specific direction. That early review can make the Class A and Class B choices feel less abstract and help you move forward with better timing.
What is the difference between CDL preparation and CDL training?
CDL preparation helps you understand the process, review written-test topics, and get oriented before hands-on training begins. CDL training can include instruction connected to your license type and behind-the-wheel stages such as range and public-road driving. CDL2GO helps clarify the preparation, class selection, and online learning side so you can better understand what you need before practical training begins with better context.
What should I review before starting CDL training?
If you are choosing between Class A, Class B, B-to-A, or endorsements, start with CDL guidance. If you are reviewing for the written test or trying to understand what comes first, start with CDL Preparation. If your question is about an account, course access, payment, or a specific support issue, use the contact page so the right team can help.
What should a new CDL learner review first?
A new CDL learner should first review the basic CDL process, permit-prep expectations, and the difference between Class A and Class B. After that, it is easier to understand where online theory, endorsements, and behind-the-wheel training fit. The goal is not to study everything immediately. The first step is getting enough direction to choose the next page with better context.
