The new drivers training process

Want to drive for Presidential Bussing, but don’t have a CDL license? The goal is to get a Class B CDL license, which will allow you to drive school buses. At Presidential, we help new drivers pass their tests so they can join our team.

This part of the process is a written test on each category. The three categories you need to pass are General Knowledge, Passenger Endorsement (P), and School Bus Endorsement (S). The total number of questions is 90, with 50, 20, and 20 questions per respective category.

When taking the permit test, bring along:

  • 6 Points of ID
  • Driver’s License
  • Social Security Card
  • Proof of Address
  • Medical Certification
  • Criminal Background Check

We have professionals who will walk you through the necessary training, and make sure you are prepared for your road test.
