In the United States, training may be obtained by completing a qualified CDL training program through a training school which specializes in teaching potential truck drivers the necessary skills and knowledge to properly and safely operate a truck, including map reading, trip planning, and compliance with Department of Transportation laws, as well as backing, turning, hooking a trailer, and road driving. Their primary focus is to help future truckers pass the CDL knowledge and skills tests as well as advanced driving techniques such as skid avoidance and recovery and other emergency actions for situations such as a break away trailer and hydroplaning.

If you have your class A license what do you need to do to obtain your passenger endorsement?

Take the written passenger test, road test in a bus. The only passenger vehicles I've ever seen requiring a Class A CDL were the 'cattle cars' when I was in Basic Training, and those might have fallen under an exemption from requiring a CDL... you'll be restricted to whatever class of license is required for the passenger vehicle you'll road test in, so, if you take it in a bus requiring a Class B, you'll be restricted to passenger vehicles requiring a Class B or C CDL.


What class of license is required to drive a wrecker?

Depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle. 26,000 lbs. or less, it doesn't require a CDL. 26,001 lbs. or higher requires a Class B CDL. If you're running a Class C wrecker (Class C is a heavy wrecker... wrecker classification and driver license classification are two separate things), then you'd need a Class A CDL.

To operate ANY vehicle which requires a CDL of ANY class in ALL states (this is federal law - it doesn't vary by state), the driver must have, along with the appropriate class of CDL (A, B, C), a DOT Medical Card. However, this is assuming you're were referring to a Class C CDL - several states issue a non-CDL Class C licence.
