About the Idaho Passenger test

The questions come from the Idaho CDL manual, they are multiple choice, and you need 80% to pass, the same standard as every other CDL knowledge test. Idaho Transportation Department gives it, and you sit it on top of the General Knowledge test rather than instead of it.

The P endorsement covers vehicles built to carry 16 or more passengers including the driver. Unlike most endorsements, it carries a skills test as well as a knowledge test, taken in a vehicle of the type you intend to drive.

It is not the same in every state

The questions come from the same federal pool wherever you sit the test, but the rules around it are set by each state. Three real examples of what differs:

Quoted from each agency's own published guidance. Check Idaho Transportation Department for the rules that apply to you.

Common questions

How long is the passenger test?

Your state sets the number of questions, so check with Idaho Transportation Department. Federal rules require a set number from an approved pool without fixing a per-endorsement count. The pass mark is 80%.

Is there a skills test for the P endorsement?

Yes. Passenger is one of the endorsements that carries a skills test as well as a knowledge test, and it is taken in a vehicle of the type you intend to drive. That matters when you book, because it is not just a written test.

Who needs the P endorsement?

Drivers of commercial vehicles designed to carry 16 or more passengers including the driver: charter buses, transit coaches and similar vehicles.

What does the passenger test cover?

The passenger section of the CDL manual: pre-trip and post-trip inspection of a passenger vehicle, loading and unloading, rules about standees and the standee line, conduct on board, railroad crossings, and emergency and evacuation procedure.
