About the Massachusetts CDL exam
The Massachusetts CDL exam is administered by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Like every state, Massachusetts adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- Exam / licence fee: approximately $30.
- Skills testing: Massachusetts RMV CDL Unit, Chicopee.
- Massachusetts centralises all CDL skills testing at a dedicated facility in Chicopee, requiring all candidates statewide to travel to this single location.
