CDL 상업용 운전면허 in Minnesota

🚌 School Bus (S) — additional Minnesota requirements

Beyond the federal CDL School Bus knowledge + skills test, this state adds its own school-bus driver credential. (Practice here covers the knowledge test only.)

Administering agency

Minnesota DPS Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), with MDE

State credential

Minnesota requires a valid CDL with passenger and school-bus endorsements to operate a Type A, B, C, or D school bus; adding the endorsements requires written and driving tests, including a road test in an appropriate vehicle.

Renewal / in-service

School bus drivers must be certified annually; renewing the school-bus endorsement requires retaking the written test, and drivers submit to a physical every two years upon renewal.

Other prerequisites

Be at least 18; complete the federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) when first obtaining/upgrading a CDL or adding the endorsement; pass written and driving tests; clear a background check and drug testing; and submit to a physical every two years.
