Who is required to have a passenger endorsement
on their CDL? - answerYou need a CDL with a passenger endorsement if you are
driving a vehicle that has a "certain number" of seats. Most states seem to place this
number between 10 and 15.
What additional items are required to be checked by
operators of passenger vehicles vs. vehicles
designed to carry freight? - answerIn addition to the truck mechanics, operators of
passenger vehicles are required to check roof hatches, emergency exit doors, cargo
access doors, and passenger seat belts prior to starting a trip.
What are the hazards for buses and vans on
curves? - answerExcessive speed on curves is extremely dangerous. With good
traction, the bus could roll over. With bad traction, the bus could slide off the road.

When in doubt, reduce speed.)
