OK CDL Passenger case studies
OK CDL Passenger · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Oklahoma CDL Passenger endorsement (CDL-P) is the authorization a commercial driver needs to operate a vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers, including the driver. In practice that means motorcoach, transit bus, school bus (which also requires the S endorsement), and similar vehicles. Oklahoma issues the endorsement through Service Oklahoma after the applicant holds or qualifies for a Class A, B, or C CDL, passes the passenger knowledge test, and completes the required skills and road testing in a passenger-carrying vehicle. The knowledge test is drawn from the passenger-carrying-vehicle portion of the state's CDL manual and emphasizes pre-trip inspection of passenger-specific equipment, safe boarding and alighting, aisle and exit management, standee and baggage rules, railroad-highway grade crossing procedures, emergency evacuation, and defensive driving with a load of people who are not wearing seat belts. The OK CDL Passenger case studies are 5 cases and about 3,859 words.
