I have my CDL, and I'm look for school that teaches bus driving.
You can drive one with a Class C CDL with passenger and school bus endorsements, so long as the GVWR of the bus is 26,000 lbs. or less, but you cannot drive one without a CDL.
No... to drive a bus unsupervised, you need an unrestricted, full-on CDL license, with a passenger endorsement. You may not legally operate a bus - loaded or empty - otherwise.
Yes. In NYS you need a CDL-B with Passenger and School Bus endorsements, as well as a current DOT Medical Certificate
i believe so.
CDL... Commercial driver license.. Think about it.
NO...you do not need cdl's to drive your personal bus but is you hire it out you will have to...note:check your state laws to make sure. In the State of Ohio the rule to determine if you need a CDL License to drive a personal bus is determined by the number of seats the bus has. 15 including the driver-yes. 14 or less including the driver-no. Private or public does not matter.
No
A CDL is not required until the capacity of the bus is greater than 15 people (including the driver).
There is no "school bus CDL". You either have a Class C or Class B CDL with a school bus endorsement. A Class C, you can drive any bus under 26,001 lbs. GVWR. If you get a hazmat endorsement, you can transport hazardous materials in any vehicle 26,000 lbs. GVWR or less. If you have a Class B, technically, you can drive any single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs, but you're not going to get hired to drive a Class 8 with an unsynchronized manual transmission without any experience.
