Sample CDL Passenger Endorsement practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Accident Procedures and Record Retention
A bus operating under a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) in Alaska is involved in a collision resulting in a fatality. Under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, what is the minimum timeframe the bus operator must retain the driver's record of duty status (RODS) for the involved driver?
- A.1 year
- B.90 days(Correct)
- C.60 days
- D.30 days
Explanation
Under FMCSA regulations, all RODS must be retained for at least 6 months (180 days). However, if a vehicle is involved in a recordable accident, the RODS for the driver involved must be retained for a minimum of 1 year.
- Question 2Pre-Trip Inspection (Air Brakes)
During a pre-trip inspection of a passenger bus equipped with air brakes, you discover that the service brake application causes a significant pull to the left. Which of the following is the MOST LIKELY cause?
- A.Low air pressure in the right front brake chamber.
- B.Sticking brake shoes or a malfunctioning brake chamber on the right front wheel.(Correct)
- C.Worn slack adjusters on the left rear axle.
- D.A leaking air hose to the left front brake chamber.
Explanation
A pulling sensation during braking typically indicates an imbalance in braking force. A sticking brake shoe or a malfunctioning diaphragm in the brake chamber on the right front wheel would cause that wheel to brake harder than the left, pulling the bus to the left.
- Question 3Railroad Crossing Procedures (School Buses)
A school bus driver in Alaska is transporting a group of 30 elementary school students. The bus has a seated capacity of 40 students. During a routine stop at a railroad crossing, the driver is required to stop, look, and listen. What additional procedure MUST the driver perform before crossing the tracks?
- A.Have a student cross the tracks to check for approaching trains.
- B.Activate the hazard lights.
- C.Engage the emergency brake.
- D.Open the passenger door to allow passengers to hear approaching trains.(Correct)
Explanation
School bus drivers must stop, look, and listen at railroad crossings. Additionally, they must open the service door to allow passengers to hear approaching trains, and then close the door before proceeding. This is a critical safety procedure for school buses.
