I recieved my temp cdl, now I have to take the third party driver tests. I have , double trailer, school bus, haz mat, tank vehicle, and passenger endorcments on this tempory permit. Do I have to test drive all these different vehicles, or can i just be tested on a semi, with trailer? thanks
You can do it with anything that has air brakes, and a trailer, or atleast that's the way it is here in Texas.
In MI, I believe you can do it all at once. However, in MN when I took mine, I got my tank, hazmat, doubles, tripples, and passenger all in one shot, but for the school bus endorsement, the test had to be in an actual school bus.
The doubles/triples, tank, and hazmat are just written test endorsements. You will need to road test in a rig, and should have to road test in a school bus for the school bus and passenger part. Check with your state DMV to be certain.
Hey Rainbowtawas, When I received my tip from the SOS they listed all the endorsements that you have on my license, and when I went to apply for my CDL A they removed the bus and passenger endorsement due to the fact that you have to test in a school bus for this and you have to test in a bus or transit equipment to receive these endorsement so it was a waste of my money for these and SOS really don't care because all they want is the money.
