GA CDL Passenger case studies
GA CDL Passenger · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Georgia CDL Passenger endorsement (P) is added to a Georgia commercial driver's license so the holder can legally drive a commercial motor vehicle designed to carry passengers - motorcoaches, charter buses, shuttle vans, and similar vehicles - while carrying more than the passenger count allowed under a basic CDL. It is for drivers who already hold or are pursuing a Georgia CDL and expect to work for a passenger carrier, transit operator, school or charter company. The GA CDL Passenger case studies are 5 cases and about 4,162 words.
