Hello there. How are you doing? I need some help with scheduling my road test. Can you assist me?
================
Of course. You can use the Road Test Scheduling System. Please note that you can t schedule an appointment for a date that is less than 14 days of being issued a Commercial Learner Permit CLP.
What if I don't pass the road test? What then?
Then you must pay a fee of $ 40.00 before you can schedule another road test. You can pay the fee online with your credit card, or pay the fee at a DMV office.
Alright. Let's hope it doesn't come to this. And what restrictions for vehicles are there?
If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, for example, and this is your first road test in a commercial motor vehicle CMV, you will be given an E restriction.
Oh, I see. And can you tell me more about the new CDL restrictions?
New CDL restrictions are defined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration FMCSA are available on our website and may affect CLP holders when taking a Skills Test in a vehicle without full airbrakes and/or a manual transmission.

Got it. Anything else I should know?

Are you wondering if you get a temporary CDL after you pass your road test?
Yes, will I?
No. Effective May 23, 2014, the New York State DMV will no longer issue a 10-day temporary license document upon successful completion of a Commercial Driver License skills test, in order to comply with the Federal self-certification and medical certification requirements for commercial drivers.

Do I need to pass the HazMat test for my NY CDL?
Yes, you must pass the hazardous materials knowledge test when you apply for your New York State CDL. You must also provide fingerprints for federal and New York State background checks for criminal violations.
