Class B CDL

Class B CDL – Get Licensed for Commercial Driving

Earn Your Class B CDL and Expand Your Driving Opportunities

A Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) allows you to drive large, single-unit commercial vehicles, such as buses, delivery trucks, and dump trucks. If you’re looking for a career in public transportation, freight delivery, or construction, a Class B CDL provides the certification you need to operate these heavy-duty vehicles safely and legally.

At Automedon CDL Testing, we offer state-certified Class B CDL testing to help you take the next step toward a rewarding commercial driving career.

What is a Class B CDL?

A Class B CDL allows drivers to operate single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, as long as any towed vehicle does not exceed 10,000 pounds. Unlike a Class A CDL, which covers combination vehicles (tractor-trailers), a Class B CDL is designed for heavy-duty, one-piece vehicles used in various industries.

🛻 Common Vehicles You Can Drive with a Class B CDL:

  • Straight Trucks (Box Trucks, Delivery Trucks, Freight Trucks)
  • Transit and Shuttle Buses (with P (Passenger) endorsement)
  • School Buses (with S (School) and P (Passenger) endorsements)
  • Dump Trucks and Construction Vehicles
  • Recycling and Garbage Trucks
  • Some Tow Trucks and Utility Vehicles

A Class B CDL allows for local and regional driving opportunities, making it an excellent option for those who want a commercial driving career with more predictable hours than long-haul trucking.

CDL Testing Process: What to Expect

📌 Step 1: Pre-Trip Inspection Test

  • Demonstrate knowledge of vehicle safety checks, including the engine compartment, brakes, tires, and lighting systems.
  • Identify and explain the function of key vehicle components.

📌 Step 2: Basic Control Skills Test

  • Prove your ability to control a combination vehicle by completing various maneuvers:
    ✅ Forward stop
    ✅ Straight-line backing
    ✅ Forward offset tracking
    ✅ Reverse offset backing

📌 Step 3: Road Test

  • Drive on public roads while being evaluated on:
    ✅ Turning, lane changes, merging, and intersections
    ✅ Braking and acceleration
    ✅ Maintaining proper speed and spacing
    ✅ Use of mirrors and signals – “Traffic Checks”

Upon successful completion, your results will be sent to the Federal Government and your State will download your info the next business day. You may obtain your Class A CDL from your State’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Class B CDL Endorsements

A Class B CDL can be customized with endorsements that expand your job opportunities and allow you to operate specialized vehicles.

✅ (P) Passenger Endorsement – Required to drive buses, shuttle vans, and motorcoaches.
✅ (S) School Bus Endorsement – Needed to transport students in school buses.
✅ (H) Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Endorsement – Allows you to haul dangerous goods.
