About the North Dakota CDL exam
The North Dakota CDL exam is administered by the North Dakota Department of Transportation. Like every state, North Dakota adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- Exam / licence fee: approximately $15.
- Skills testing: North Dakota DOT driver's license sites.
- North Dakota has one of the lowest CDL fees in the nation and relatively streamlined testing due to its rural population and strong trucking industry relationships.
