    Here in New Hampshire I was told by DMV that the usual state police fingerprinting and written isn't enough to add a 'P' to an already-existing CDL, now you gotta retake the road test to get that 'P' endorsement.

    School bus and coach bus pay has gone up a bit lately, not sure if it's the sudden crimp from these rules or just inflation.

    Anyone noticed this in their state?

    Road test has always been required as long as I've been driving. But most bus companies that I've seen offer in-house training/testing, so at least there's that.

    yeah the NH school bus company employees unionized a few years back, allegedly turned $15/hr into $25/hr and honestly made me start paying attention to that kinda work. They still can't find workers tho.

    In KS road test required, am not sure about when renewal. I didn't have it for one main reason. Those boxes didn't talk back or give me attitude.

    Might be federal. Buddy here in Missouri, CDL A holder for 20 plus years, had to take a $2k training course and a road test for 'P'. And he failed it the first time around :)

    His thought was the same, he's sold his OTR trucks, bought a dump truck for local and was looking at coach driving , on call - to fill in time.

    $25-$30/hour round here.
