About the Kansas Doubles and Triples Test
Topics Covered
- ✓Coupling and uncoupling procedures — Kansas examiners want the full sequence, especially the order of air lines and electrical connections. Miss a step and you're out.

📘 Study Tips & State Info
Start with the Kansas CDL manual's coupling section. Memorize the exact order: secure tractor, back under trailer, connect air lines, then electrical. Kansas examiners are sticklers for that sequence. They'll ask you what happens if you connect electrical before air — spoiler: you can damage the system.
Focus on wind. Kansas is the windiest state for a reason. The test will ask about reducing speed and when to pull over. Think about I-70 west of Hays. If you'd chicken out driving a single trailer in 40 mph gusts, you shouldn't be pulling doubles. The test expects you to know the safe wind speed limits for doubles.
Practice with our simulator. It times you at 25 minutes, same as the DMV. The questions shuffle each time. Take it until you score 90% or better three times in a row. That's what I tell my students in Wichita.
The Kansas DMV administers the Doubles and Triples test at all full-service driver's license stations. You'll need an appointment at most locations — walk-ins are hit or miss. Bring your current CDL or CLP, a valid Medical Examiner's Certificate, and proof of Kansas residency. The test fee is $10 for the endorsement, but you'll also pay for the skills test if you're getting your Class A.
Kansas requires you to have the T endorsement before you can pull doubles or triples on any public road. That includes the Kansas Turnpike, I-70, I-35, and US-50. Farm exemptions exist for agricultural hauling, but you still need the T endorsement if the combination exceeds 80,000 lbs or you cross state lines.
Testing locations include Topeka, Wichita, Kansas City, Salina, Garden City, and Hays. The Garden City office sees a lot of truckers hauling cattle and grain doubles. They're used to it. Don't be nervous.
About the Kansas Doubles and Triples Test
If you're planning to pull doubles or triples in Kansas, you need the T endorsement. It's not optional. The Kansas DMV tests you on coupling and uncoupling, trailer stability, and how to handle the wind that whips across I-70 near Colby. You have to know the exact order of steps — no shortcuts.
Kansas allows doubles and triples on most interstates and the Kansas Turnpike, but you can't just hook up and go. The test covers weight distribution, brake timing, and what happens when your rear trailer starts to sway. That's real here. Wheat trucks and livestock trailers double up all the time.
The Doubles and Triples test is 20 multiple-choice questions. You need 16 correct to pass — that's 80%. The Kansas DMV gives you about 25 minutes. Most people finish in 15 if they know the material. Don't rush. Read each question twice.
This practice test follows the Kansas CDL manual exactly. We pull questions from the same pool the DMV uses. No tricks. Just the stuff you need to know for your Kansas T endorsement.
