Passenger endorsement

Yes. You will need a road test.

 

Yes.

Also if you intend to haul kids, you must expect a whole stack of additional papers and training before being allowed to. And if you are involved in that in the future, you have to be perfect on time to the minute every single day without fail. Im a OTR man and have trouble with that sometimes... lol.

 

I did it for one school year back in 2009, for several reasons, and the couple times I showed up late were VERY embarrassing for me and created havoc for others.

 

Wife is in school transportation dept. Parents, teachers, kidos. ####show!

 

Yes you do have to test in a bus I've been there done that and have the endorsement to prove it. You have to do a pre trip and maneuver and everything and take a full blown road test. They don't pass out those passenger endorsements for nothing they make you earn those.

 

What he said^^^^. been there, done that also. Just in case.

 

I believe that if you are an illegal alien they are not allowed to ask to see if you have a license.

 

In my State... I have a Passenger endorsement. Bus driving test.
But School Bus? That's another one and more to it. I don't need to put up with the circus.

I joke with every employer that: I have passenger for the doggie.

 

My wife always wanted to ride with me but I told her that I didn't have the passenger endorsement.
