Class C CDL
Class C CDL – Get Certified for Passenger and HazMat Transport
Earn Your Class C CDL for Specialized Driving Opportunities
A Class C Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is required for operating smaller commercial vehicles that transport passengers or hazardous materials. If you plan to drive shuttle vans, smaller buses, or vehicles carrying hazardous cargo, obtaining a Class C CDL is essential.
At Automedon CDL Testing, we offer state-certified Class C CDL exams to help you get fully licensed and on the road safely and legally.
What is a Class C CDL?
A Class C CDL is required for operating vehicles that:
✔ Transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver (e.g., shuttle vans, smaller buses, or non-CDL charter vehicles that have a GVWR less than 26,001 pounds – with a P (Passenger) endorsement).
✔ Haul hazardous materials (HazMat) that require placarding (e.g., fuel transport, medical waste, flammable materials).
🛻 Common Vehicles You Can Drive with a Class C CDL:
- Shuttle Vans & Airport Transport Vehicles
- Small Passenger Buses (Hotel, Church, or Private Buses)
- Medical Transport & Paratransit Vehicles
- Hazardous Materials Transport Vehicles (with HazMat endorsement)
- Small School Buses (with School Bus & Passenger Endorsements)
Unlike Class A or Class B CDLs, which cover larger trucks and buses, a Class C CDL is designed for smaller, specialized commercial vehicles.

- 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

✅ Reverse offset backing
📌 Step 3: Road Test
- Drive on public roads while being evaluated on:
✅ Turning, lane changes, merging, and intersections
✅ Braking and acceleration

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 C CDL Endorsements
A Class C CDL can be customized with endorsements that expand your driving opportunities:
