The games

Four ways to sharpen your skills

Dock Backing

Back a trailer to the dock through 12 levels. It starts with a straight back and works up through offset and driver-side backs, tight and occupied docks, a narrow approach, a 180-degree setup, door changes, busy dock rows and an advanced mixed yard.

Beat DOT

Pre-trip inspection practice. Learn what parts such as tires, rims, lug nuts, hubs, brake chambers, slack adjusters and air lines do, and what problems to look for. Some questions are based on federal rules, such as minimum tire tread depth under 49 CFR 393.75.

CDL Knowledge Practice

Practice questions in six areas: General Knowledge, Air Brakes, Combination Vehicles, Hazmat, Tanker, and Doubles & Triples. Each answer comes with an explanation.

Shifting Excellence

An in-cab manual transmission trainer. Learn to drive, free drive, take on skills challenges such as clutch brake starts, double-clutch downshifts, floating gears and splitter work, and run driving scenarios from yard to highway, rolling hills, mountain climbs and descents, and city stop-and-go. Choose Eaton Fuller transmissions and loads from an empty trailer up to 80,000 lb.

Good to know

Practice that respects the job

CaddySkills is made by Trucking Caddy for drivers, students and anyone curious about what it takes to move freight. It is practice. It does not replace professional CDL training, your state's commercial driver license manual, or an official exam.
