Sample CDL School Bus 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 1Weight and Capacity
A Type I school bus, designed for 72 passengers, has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,000 lbs. The bus itself weighs 18,000 lbs empty. What is the maximum allowable weight of the passengers and their luggage, assuming each passenger weighs an average of 150 lbs and there are 10 pieces of luggage weighing 20 lbs each?
- A.10,000 lbs
- B.14,000 lbs
- C.7,200 lbs
- D.8,000 lbs(Correct)
Explanation
The maximum allowable weight for passengers and luggage is the GVWR minus the empty weight of the bus. Maximum allowable weight = 26,000 lbs (GVWR) - 18,000 lbs (empty weight) = 8,000 lbs. The number of passengers and luggage weight are distractors as the question asks for the maximum allowable weight, not the current calculated weight.
- Question 2Railroad Crossing Procedures
When approaching a railroad crossing with a flashing red signal, you must stop at least 15 feet from the tracks, but no more than 50 feet. If your bus is 40 feet long, and you stop 20 feet from the crossing, what is the minimum distance from the front of your bus to the nearest rail?
- A.5 feet
- B.20 feet(Correct)
- C.35 feet
- D.15 feet
Explanation
The question states you stop 20 feet from the crossing. The distance from the front of your bus to the nearest rail is therefore 20 feet.
- Question 3Special Needs Transportation
You are transporting students with disabilities and need to secure a wheelchair using a four-point tie-down system. What is the primary safety consideration when attaching the tie-down straps to the wheelchair?
- A.Attach straps to the strongest points of the wheelchair frame, avoiding suspension or movable parts.(Correct)
- B.Position the straps at a 45-degree angle to the direction of travel for optimal restraint.
- C.Ensure the straps are taut enough to prevent any movement.
- D.Use only the manufacturer-provided anchor points for the tie-downs.
Explanation
The strongest points of the wheelchair frame provide the most secure anchor for tie-down straps. Attaching to suspension or movable parts could lead to failure. While tautness is important, secure attachment to a strong point is paramount. Manufacturer points are ideal but not always available or sufficient on their own.
