LA CDL School Bus case studies
LA CDL School Bus · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Louisiana CDL School Bus endorsement is added to a Louisiana Class A, Class B, or Class C commercial driver's license so the holder can legally operate a school bus. Louisiana's Office of Motor Vehicles organizes CDL licensing around three basic classes - Class A, Class B, and Class C - and the school bus endorsement sits on top of whichever class matches the vehicle you drive. Candidates for this endorsement are usually people moving into pupil transportation, whether for a parish school system or a private contractor. The knowledge you are tested on spans four areas: CDL classes and licensing basics; medical certification and self-certification; Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse requirements; and Entry Level Driver Training and driver education. The LA CDL School Bus case studies are 5 cases and about 3,339 words.
