Editorial Policy and Corrections

Last updated: September 1, 2026

This page describes the rules CDL Help follows for the content we publish — practice questions, state licensing facts, and articles. Licensing information affects real decisions (what to study, what a license costs, where to apply), so we hold it to the standards below. How the practice tests themselves are built is covered separately in our practice-test methodology.

Sourcing standards

Government sources first. For regulatory and licensing facts we cite official sources — FMCSA regulations (the eCFR), state licensing-agency websites, and official state CDL manuals — before anything else. Industry sources (such as AAMVA materials) come second; other websites are not a basis for a regulatory claim.
Facts carry their source and date. State-specific claims such as fees and agency procedures are shown with a citation and re-verified periodically. We do not state fees, deadlines, or legal requirements from memory.
No guessing. If we cannot verify a fact against a primary source, we say so or leave it out.

Authorship

Content on CDL Help is signed either by a real, named person — see Al Urazalin — or attributed to CDL Help as an organization. We do not publish under invented personas, and we do not claim credentials that the named person does not have.

How we use software and AI

We use software tools, including AI assistance, to help draft content and to translate it — it is how a small team keeps ten language versions of a large question bank current. Two rules govern that use:

A person reviews content before it is published and is accountable for it.
Regulatory facts are never taken from an AI model's memory — they must trace to the primary sources described above.

Corrections

If you find an error — a wrong answer, an outdated fee, a bad translation, or anything else — email contact@cdlhelp.com or use the contact page. When a report checks out:

We fix the content and update the affected page's "last updated" date rather than editing silently.
Errors that could affect a licensing decision — fees, deadlines, application steps, exam rules — are corrected with priority.
Translation errors are corrected against the English source text.
