You have to have a basic license and pass a vision, age and fitness test and a CDL knowledge exam. There is a permit period of 6 months up to two years. You can find out more informaiton here: http://www.transportation.wv.gov/dmv/Commercial/Pages/default.aspx
For written tests, General Knowledge and Combination Vehicles. Air Brakes, if applicable. Plus the pre-trip inspection and the actual road test.
General Knowledge, Combination Vehicles, Air Brakes (if applicable), and the tests for any endorsements you plan on getting (such as hazmat, tanker, double/triple trailers, or passenger).
Depends on what class of CDL you're going for, among other things.
If it's just the power unit, with no trailer attached, they can do it with a Class B. But they must have a CDL to take that vehicle on a public roadway.
Yes. You'll need a vehicle to road test in for the upgrade.
All you have to do to get the endorsement is pass the written test and road test in a passenger vehicle. However, if you have a Class A CDL and road test in a vehicle requiring only a Class C CDL, you'll be restricted to operating passenger vehicles in that class and lower.
The General Knowledge test is one of the tests you'll need to take in order to get a permit. What other tests you'll needs depends on what class of CDL you're going for, and the nature of the vehicle(s) you'll be operating.
General Knowledge, Combination Vehicles, Air Brakes (if applicable), plus a pretrip and road test
You will need a Class B CDL with tanker endorsement.
Yes
Take the written air brakes test, and perform a road test in a combination requiring a Class A CDL which is equipped with air brakes.
Depends on which class CDL you're getting, and what endorsements you're going for. All CDL applicants must take the General Knowledge test, whether Class A, B, or C. If the vehicle you'll be driving is equipped with air brakes, you need to take the written Air Brakes test, as well as perform your road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes. If you're going for a Class A CDL, you'll need to take Combination Vehicles, as well as perform your road test in a Class A vehicle. Passenger, Double/Triple Trailer, Hazmat, and Tanker endorsements all require a written test. In addition, passenger endorsements require a road test to be conducted in the appropriate class of passenger vehicle (if you have a Class A CDL, but road test in a Class B or C vehicle, you'll receive a restriction limiting you to the class of passenger vehicle you road tested in). Hazmat endorsements require a TSA background check and fingerprinting.
Class 3 truck with a rollback body? No, it doesn't require a CDL.
No, you do not.
