Terms of Service

1. What this agreement covers

These Terms govern your use of Ready CDL Prep (the “App”), including the mobile apps for iOS and Android, this website, and everything we provide through them (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by Trucker Path, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”).

Trucker Path’s general Terms of Service cover its products as a whole. These terms are specific to Ready CDL Prep, and where the two differ about this App, these govern.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect and why. It is part of this agreement.

2. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. This App is only for the commercial licence, and no state issues a commercial learner’s permit below 18.

The Service is offered for use in the United States. We do not represent that the content is appropriate or accurate anywhere else.

You may create one account for yourself. Do not share your login. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

3. What the Service is — and what it is not

This section is the most important one in this agreement.

We are not affiliated with any government agency

Ready CDL Prep is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), any state Department of Motor Vehicles or licensing agency, or any other government body.

Nothing you do in this App creates, advances, or affects any licence, endorsement, permit, or application.

These are not real exam questions

Every practice question in the App is original content we wrote from publicly available state CDL handbooks. They are not actual examination questions, and they are not reproduced from any official test.

Where state handbooks disagree with one another — the low air pressure warning threshold, for example, is 55 psi in some and 60 psi in others — we say so and flag the affected questions. Your state’s own current handbook is the authoritative source. If this App and your state’s handbook disagree, the handbook is right and we are wrong. Tell us, and we will fix it.

Handbooks change. We update the question bank, but there will be periods when a state has changed something and we have not caught up.

The readiness score is an estimate, not a prediction

The App shows a readiness score and an estimated chance of passing. These are our own statistical estimates based on how you have answered questions in this App. They are not produced, reviewed, or endorsed by any examining authority.

We do not guarantee that you will pass any test. A high score in this App is not a promise of any outcome, and no refund is owed because a test did not go the way the score suggested.

We are not an ELDT training provider

Since 7 February 2022, federal rules require anyone obtaining a CDL for the first time, upgrading a class, or obtaining a Hazardous Materials (H), Passenger (P) or School Bus (S) endorsement for the first time to complete Entry-Level Driver Training from a provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.

We are not on that Registry and we do not provide ELDT. Nothing you study here counts toward it, and finishing anything in this App produces no certificate and no record with FMCSA or your state.

This matters most for HazMat. ELDT theory training from a registered provider is required before you are allowed to take the H endorsement knowledge test. Our HazMat question bank is study material for that test; it is not the training that makes you eligible to sit it. Find a registered provider at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov.

There is no pass guarantee

Some study products offer to refund you or extend your access if you fail. We do not. We make no promise about your result and owe you nothing if a test does not go your way.

Not a substitute for the training you are required to take

This App teaches for a written knowledge test. It is not driver training. It does not replace ELDT, behind-the-wheel instruction from a qualified instructor, your employer’s training, or the skills test. Use it alongside those, not instead of them.

Not safety, legal, or professional advice

The content is study material for a knowledge test. It is not advice on how to operate a commercial vehicle safely, and it is not legal advice about transportation regulations, hours of service, hazardous materials handling, or anything else. Do not make an operational or legal decision on the basis of anything in this App.

4. The AI Coach

The App includes AI features: explanations of why an answer was wrong, answers to follow-up questions you type, worked examples, and short quizzes. These are generated by large language models, some operated by third parties on our behalf.

Generated content can be wrong. It can be confidently wrong. It can misstate a rule, cite the wrong handbook section, or invent one. We review and cache generated answers, but we do not verify every one before you see it. The disclaimers in Section 3 apply to AI output with particular force.

If you receive generated content that is inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate, report it from inside the App — every generated answer has a report control. We read those reports and remove or correct what they point at.

What you type into the AI Coach is sent to our servers and to our AI providers to produce a response. Do not type anything you would not want handled that way: no medical details, no government identifiers, no passwords. See the Privacy Policy.

Free accounts get a limited number of AI explanations per day, which resets daily. Pro accounts get unlimited AI explanations, subject to the fair use limits in Section 9.

5. Your account

You can create an account with an email address and password, with a one-time code sent to your email, or by signing in with Google or Apple.

Keep your credentials secure and tell us promptly if you believe someone else has used your account.

You can delete your account at any time:

• In the App: Settings → Delete account.
• On the web, without installing the App: cdl-api.websit.truckerpath.com/account/delete

Deleting your account removes your account record and your personal study history — your answers, study sessions, flagged and bookmarked questions, your study plan, any pending sign-in codes, and the Google or Apple sign-ins linked to the account.

Some records are kept, either because they contain no personal information about you or because we are required to keep them: the questions, flashcards and the shared cache of generated explanations are global content, and that cache is keyed to a question and the way it was answered wrong, not to any person. Feedback you sent is kept without its link to your account, so that a report about a broken screen does not disappear because its author left.

Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription and does not refund anything. Subscriptions are managed by Apple or Google — see Section 7.

6. Free and Pro

Free, with a free account and no payment method:

• The core Class A subjects — General Knowledge, Air Brakes, Combination Vehicles and Pre-Trip Inspection
• Explanations, Daily Study, flashcards, missed questions, progress tracking, and offline study of those subjects
• A limited number of AI explanations per day

Pro adds:

• The Exam Simulator and Timed Drill
• All five endorsement banks — HazMat, Tank Vehicles, Passenger Transport, School Bus, Doubles & Triples
• State-specific question variations
• Unlimited AI explanations

Prices are in US dollars and exclude any tax the store adds. The price shown in the App at the moment you buy is the price that applies. The table above is for information and may lag a change.

We may change what is in the free tier and what is in Pro. If we move something out of the free tier, it stays available to accounts that already had it for as long as we reasonably can, and we will say so in the App before it happens.

7. Payment, renewal, and cancellation

We do not process your payment. All purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, under that store’s own terms and payment methods. Your relationship for the payment itself is with the store.

Subscriptions renew automatically. A monthly plan renews monthly and an annual plan renews annually, charged to your store account, until you cancel.

To cancel, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends, in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancelling elsewhere — deleting the App, deleting your Ready CDL Prep account, or emailing us — does not cancel a subscription. We cannot cancel it for you.

When you cancel, you keep Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not pro-rate.

Refunds follow the store’s policy, because the store took the money. Where to ask differs:

• Apple. Only Apple can refund an App Store purchase. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue it, reverse it, or overrule a decision Apple makes.
• Google Play. Google offers a self-service refund for a short window after purchase. After that, ask us — we can request the refund from Google on your order.

If a store refunds or reverses a purchase, we may remove the corresponding access.

If a renewal payment fails, the store may retry for a period during which your access continues. We will notify you if you have enabled account alerts. If the retries do not succeed, Pro access ends.

What “Lifetime” means

Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase. It does not renew and it is not a subscription.

“Lifetime” means for as long as we operate the Service — it is not tied to your lifetime, and it is not a promise that the Service will run forever.

If we discontinue the Service we will give you at least 90 days’ notice in the App. Rather than a refund, we will publish a final offline version of the App during that period, with every question bank built in — including the endorsement banks — so that it needs no account, no subscription check and no connection to work.

In that version you keep practice, the exam simulator, flashcards, missed questions and your progress, on your device. Install it before the notice period ends. If you already have the App, it will arrive as an ordinary update.

Be clear about what an offline build cannot include. Anything that only exists on our servers ends when they do: the AI Coach, the readiness score, syncing between devices, and any new or corrected questions. It is the study material as it stood on the day we stopped, and it will not be updated when a state changes its handbook. Section 3 already says your state’s handbook is the authoritative source; after a shutdown that matters more, not less.

We also cannot promise you will be able to download it again later. Once the App is withdrawn from the App Store and Google Play, a reinstall — on a new phone, or after erasing this one — may not be possible. The version you install during the notice period is the one you keep.

Lifetime covers the features described as Pro at the time of purchase and the ordinary updates to them. It does not automatically include a materially new product we may launch separately.

8. Content, offline copies, and your licence

The questions, explanations, flashcards, readiness model, interface, and text in the Service are ours or our licensors’, and are protected by copyright and other laws. Individual facts and the state handbooks themselves are not ours; the particular questions and explanations we wrote from them are.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service to study, for your own non-commercial use.

The App downloads a copy of the question bank to your device so you can study without a signal. That copy is part of the same licence. You may not extract, copy, republish, sell, or use it to build a competing product or to train a machine learning model.

You may not:

• Share, resell, or sublicense your access
• Reverse engineer the App, or access our APIs other than through the App
• Scrape, bulk-download, or automate access to the content
• Use the AI Coach to generate content unrelated to CDL study, or to attempt to extract our prompts or another user’s data
• Interfere with the Service or attempt to defeat rate limits or entitlement checks

What you submit

You keep ownership of what you write — feedback, reports about generated content, and the questions you type into the AI Coach. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual licence to use, store, and adapt it to operate, fix, and improve the Service, and to answer you.

Do not submit anything confidential, anything you do not have the right to submit, or another person’s personal information. If you give us a contact address with a report, we may use it to reply about that report.

Unsolicited ideas. If you send us a product idea, we may use it without obligation, payment, or confidentiality. We develop things independently and cannot agree to treat an idea as secret.

9. Fair use of AI features

“Unlimited” AI explanations for Pro means unlimited ordinary personal study use. We apply rate limits to protect the Service, and we may limit or suspend AI access for an account whose usage is automated, resold, or so far outside normal study patterns that it is plainly not a person studying. We will tell you if we do this.

10. Notifications

The App can send you two separate kinds of notification, each with its own control in Settings:

• Daily study reminders — scheduled on your device at a time you choose.
• Account alerts — sent from our servers about your account, such as a renewal payment that failed.

You can turn either off in Settings, or turn off notifications for the App in your device’s system settings. Turning off account alerts means we will not be able to tell you about a failed payment.

11. Changes to the Service

We add, change, and remove features. We may change or discontinue any part of the Service. If a change materially reduces what a paid plan provides, we will notify you in the App before it takes effect, and Section 7’s cancellation rights apply.

12. Ending your access

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time, from Settings or from the web page in Section 5.

We do not ban accounts. There is no suspension switch in this Service and we do not plan to build one. The only thing that ends paid access other than your own cancellation is a refund: if you or a store refunds a purchase, the access that purchase paid for goes with it, which is the same exchange in reverse.

Two narrow exceptions, both about keeping the Service working rather than about policing you. We rate limit requests, and as Section 9 says we may restrict AI access for an account whose usage is plainly automated or resold. And if we are ordered by law to close an account, we will. In either case we will tell you.

If we ever did end your access for a reason that was not your doing, the refund routes in Section 7 are how you would get money back, with the limits stated there.

13. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, that the content is free of errors, that it reflects the current handbook for your state, or that using it will produce any particular result on any test.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those places, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost licences, or costs of retaking a test, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months immediately before the events giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. This does not apply to claims arising from our own acts or omissions.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

Arbitration. Claims and disputes arising under or relating to these Terms are to be determined by binding arbitration in the State of Arizona, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

No class actions. You may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Venue. Where a claim is not subject to arbitration, venue lies exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona sitting in Phoenix, or the Superior Court of Maricopa County.

Nothing here prevents either of us from seeking relief in a small claims court, or stops you from reporting a concern to a government agency.

17. Apple and Google

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the App.
• Apple is not responsible for any claim relating to the App, including product liability, failure to conform to a legal requirement, or a third-party intellectual property claim.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
• You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a US embargo or listed on a US prohibited-parties list.

Similar terms apply to Google Play under its Developer Distribution Agreement.

18. Third-party services and links

The Service links to and relies on things we do not control: the Apple App Store and Google Play, our AI providers, and pages such as the FMCSA Training Provider Registry and your state’s handbook. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Your use of them is governed by their terms, not ours.

19. Copyright

All the study content in the Service — questions, explanations, flashcards — is written by us. The Service has no way for one user’s material to be shown to another: what you type reaches us and our staff, and nobody else. So there is no user-published material here for a takedown process to act on, and we do not operate one.

If you believe something in the Service infringes your copyright, write to cdl-pre@truckerpath.com with enough detail to identify the work and where in the Service you saw it. We will look at it and remove or correct anything we should not be using.

20. Export controls and sanctions

You may not use the Service, or export or re-export any part of it, in violation of US export control or sanctions laws. You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a US embargo and are not on a US prohibited-parties list.

21. California residents

Automatic renewal. California law requires us to state renewal terms clearly. Subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval shown in the App at purchase, until cancelled. Cancel in your App Store or Google Play account settings — see Section 7. Because the store takes the payment, the store’s cancellation flow is the one that stops the charge.

Complaints. Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, users of the Service who are California residents may report a complaint to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by post at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

Your privacy rights under the CCPA/CPRA are described in the Privacy Policy.

22. General

Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will notify you in the App or by email before it takes effect, and tell you when it does. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the change. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription through the store.

Whole agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service.

Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.

No waiver. Not enforcing a provision once does not waive it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
