    Since the articulation point on the bus is much further towards the center or rear of the entire vehicle, there is less off tracking of the rear wheels

    I think a TT is more difficult. As stated above the results of a bad situation can be much worse with a bus!

    My license has a restriction.
    No class A Bus.
    Don’t matter that we don’t have a single class A bus in my entire state.

    My Georgia CDL A had an M Restriction that actually was because of a mistake made by the DDS office. When I moved to Virginia and transferred my CDL A the Va DMV removed that restriction. Then almost a full year later removed the entire license! Now I don't drive!
