CDL C Passenger Endorsement

The CDL Passenger Endorsement course will provide you with training to inspect and operate any CMVs, and to assume driving responsibilities on the road. Emphasis is placed on vehicle inspections, defensive driving, range maneuvers, motor carrier safety regulations, trip planning, cargo planning, size/weight laws, general maintenance procedures, and hours of service and accident prevention.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires specialized training in the areas of driver qualification, hours of service, driver wellness, and whistleblower protection for entry-level drivers who are subject to the commercial driver's license requirements (49 CFR Part 380). Upon completion of this course, you'll be prepared to pass the NC DMV CDL Passenger Endorsement skills exams and apply for employment with a respected motor carrier as an entry-level driver.
