Testing Details

Oregon CDL Skills test: Part of the process in acquiring an Oregon CDL is the required skills test. Information regarding the skills test can be found in the back sections of the Oregon CDL manual. As a 3rd party tester we are certified by the Oregon DMV to perform the test but are not affiliated with the DMV agency itself. After a successful completion of the skills test the applicant will receive instruction to wait up to 24 hours before going to the DMV to complete the process and obtain their CDL. Obtaining the CDL at the DMV must be done within 6 months after successfully completing the skills test. In some cases the the test scores can be put in via computer the same day, so ask your examiner when to expect the DMV will be ready for you to show up. In addition to paying Transport Wisdom for your skills test the DMV will have additional charges to finalize getting your CDL. The fees can be seen here: https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/Pages/Fees/CDL.aspx

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer Driver Evaluations?

Yes! Many insurance companies and government agencies are requiring proof of training/re-training on an annual basis or when conducting accident investigations. We offer annual driver evaluations that can help bring the skill level of your team up to those necessary levels.

We have recently discontinued renting equipment for testing. Applicants must secure reliable equipment prior to scheduling their test. Test fees are not refundable for equipment breakdowns.
