License fees on the official page
- CLP fee
- The application fee for the written tests is $10. That fee covers the knowledge and endorsement tests taken at the same time. Another required test not taken and passed then is an additional $5. The page describes this as the fee when you apply for an original Class A or B commercial permit.

Questions drivers ask
How much does CDL training cost in New York?
This page does not publish a statewide tuition. The license amounts are the lines on the official fee source checked October 29, 2026. A school price appears only when a named program page was already checked, and that price is not a quote for another school.
Are the New York license fees the whole bill?
No. A permit, a license card, a skills test, a medical exam, and a school charge are different payments. If one of those lines was missing from the licensing page, it is not filled in from another state.
Does a directory listing include the price?
No. A listing in the New York school directory is not a tuition quote and not a funded seat.
