Getting your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) in Vermont means passing the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) knowledge test. DLA Academy's CDL-A Permit Prep gives you 119 practice questions covering general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles — the exact topics the VT DMV tests. This is a study tool for the permit exam, not FMCSA-approved ELDT. You'll need both: Permit Prep to study for the knowledge test, and CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) to meet the federal training mandate.
Vermont CDL Permit Test — What You Need to Know
Before you can take any CDL skills test in Vermont, you need a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP). To get the CLP, you pass the DMV knowledge test at Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) — that's the permit test. It's separate from FMCSA-approved ELDT training. ELDT is required to take the CDL skills test; the permit test is required to get the learner's permit that lets you take the skills test.
DLA Academy's CDL-A Permit Prep is a $15 study tool with 119 practice questions covering the topics the VT DMV permit test draws from. It is not FMCSA-approved ELDT and does not fulfill the ELDT mandate — but it pairs naturally with CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) for drivers who want both the permit prep and the federally-required theory training.
What's Inside the 119 Practice Questions
The CDL-A Permit Prep covers every topic the DMV knowledge test draws from. Roughly:
- ~50 General Knowledge questions (rules of the road, signs, defensive driving)
- ~25 Air Brakes questions (system components, low air pressure, parking brakes)
- ~25 Combination Vehicles questions (coupling, uncoupling, trailer handling)
- Sample Hazardous Materials questions (for drivers also studying the H endorsement)
- Questions formatted to mimic the state DMV knowledge test interface
- Self-paced — review missed questions, retake as many times as you want
Most drivers run through the full bank twice before the state test. Combined with the official CDL handbook for your state, the pass rate is high.
Taking the Permit Test at Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles
In Vermont, the permit test is administered by Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV). Bring proof of identity, proof of state residency, your Social Security number, and (if applicable) your DOT medical card. Test format is multiple-choice and you'll typically need to pass General Knowledge plus any endorsement-specific sections you're adding (Hazmat, Air Brakes, Combination Vehicles, Passenger, School Bus). You can find the official VT DMV CDL manual and scheduling info at https://dmv.vermont.gov/licenses/cdl.
You must hold a valid CLP for at least 14 days before taking the CDL skills test in any state.
Permit Prep vs. ELDT — They're Different Products
What CDL-A Permit Prep Is and Isn't
Permit Prep ($15) is a DMV knowledge-test study tool. It is not FMCSA-approved and does not fulfill the ELDT mandate. It helps you pass the state permit test to get your CLP.
CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) is the FMCSA-approved entry-level driver training required before you can take the CDL skills test. It auto-submits to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours and is accepted by VT DMV.
For first-time Class A applicants you'll likely need both — Permit Prep to pass the permit test, then CDL-A Theory ELDT to qualify for the skills test, then behind-the-wheel training (BTW) at a local FMCSA-registered provider.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between CDL-A Permit Prep and CDL-A Theory ELDT?+
CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) is a DMV practice-question study tool — 119 questions that mirror what the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles will ask on your Commercial Learner's Permit knowledge test. It's not FMCSA-approved and doesn't fulfill the federal ELDT requirement. CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) is the separate FMCSA-mandated online training you must complete before you take the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles skills test. Both are required: use Permit Prep to study for the permit exam, and complete CDL-A Theory ELDT to satisfy federal law.
How many questions are on the Vermont permit test?+
The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) requires you to pass knowledge tests covering general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles — the exact topics covered in DLA Academy's 119 practice questions. Our Permit Prep mirrors the format and difficulty so you walk into the VT DMV test room confident.
What do I bring to the Vermont DMV when I take my permit test?+
Check the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) website for current ID and documentation requirements — typically a valid ID, Social Security number verification, and proof of residency. After you pass the permit test, the VT DMV holds your Commercial Learner's Permit for 14 days (federal rule) before it becomes valid. DLA Academy's Permit Prep doesn't include the DMV testing itself — only the practice questions to help you study.
How does Permit Prep fit into the CDL process?+
Step 1: Study with CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) — 119 DMV practice questions. Step 2: Take your knowledge test at the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV). Step 3: After you get your CLP, complete CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) — the federally-mandated online training. Step 4: Schedule and pass the skills test (behind-the-wheel, which you arrange with a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider). Permit Prep is purely a study aid; it doesn't replace ELDT or the skills test.
Can I get the CDL-A Permit Prep and ELDT together as a package?+
Yes. DLA Academy's CDL Complete Bundle ($45) includes CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20), and CDL-B Theory ELDT ($20) — saving you $10 vs. buying each separately. If you only need the permit prep right now, Permit Prep is $15 on its own. You can always add CDL-A Theory ELDT later when you're ready for the federal training step.
