A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is a special license required to operate commercial motor vehicles. Drivers must complete the necessary skills-based training and pass the accompanying tests to obtain one.
If a driver plans to operate certain types of motor vehicles, like buses, limousines, or double-trailer trucks, they will need another certification called a CDL endorsement. Endorsements may provide more career opportunities and higher salaries than retaining a CDL alone. Drivers that plan to drive buses or vehicles with more than 15 people require a passenger endorsement.
The Advanced Class B CDL with passenger endorsement course at Mike’s Driving School provides drivers with 120 hours of training and prepares them to transport passengers. Courses usually run Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Some classes are also offered on the weekends and evenings.
Mike’s Driving School strives to promote an environment where all students can pursue their career goals in the transportation and trucking industry. Therefore, we offer financial aid programs for students who qualify. Eligible students may get assistance through the VA, One-Stop Career Center of New Jersey, or Mike’s Driving School’s payment plans. To graduate from all CDL school courses, students must maintain a minimum attendance rate of 80%.
