Third Party CDL Testing

This page is for customers needing commercial (CDL) licenses. If you are needing to take a Class C driving test to get your license, you have the option to test with a DMV contracted Class C testing business.

Commercial Skills Test

• A third party CDL tester can conduct skills tests for Class A, B, or C commercial driver licenses only.
• CDL skills tests must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
• Before scheduling a skills test, you will need the following:
• A valid Oregon Driver License issued at least 14 days prior to testing; and
• A valid Oregon Commercial Learner Permit issued at least 14 days prior to testing.
  
• Complete entry-level driver training or be grandfathered from the requirements.
  
• Before taking the skills test, you must:
• Pass all required knowledge tests; and
• Show the third party CDL tester your driver license and commercial learner permit.
• The examiner will charge a fee, set by them, for your test. You will have to pay issuance and other fees to DMV when you get your CDL.
• After you pass your CDL skills tests, you must wait one business day before going to a DMV office to get your CDL.
• Anyone who trained you on any portion of the CDL skills test cannot conduct your test. Also, a third party examiner working for a commercial truck or bus driver training school cannot test a driver who has been trained by anyone who works at the school.
