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.
