About the Connecticut CDL exam
The Connecticut CDL exam is administered by the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles. Like every state, Connecticut adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- Exam / licence fee: approximately $40.
- Skills testing: Connecticut DMV CDL Unit, Wethersfield.
- Connecticut conducts all CDL skills tests at a single central testing facility in Wethersfield, unlike most states that use distributed test sites.
