School Bus Endorsement
School Buses
One of the most important commodities any driver can "haul" is the future. That's right, Children. TDT Safety Training takes great pride in helping companies and their employees get children to and from school and events. Precious cargo indeed!
Our staff has multiple years of first-hand experience driving a variety of buses. Manual, automatic, new, slightly older, and even what might be called "vintage" buses now.
New Drivers
We help new drivers build a strong foundation for success by repetition and safety focused training program.
Experienced Drivers
Wisdom comes with experience, but the best operators are always learning and open to new ideas while ensuring safe operations.
Types of Training
We offer Class B School Bus ELDT Training in all 50 states. TDT Safety Training can provide both the theory (classroom) and the behind-the-wheel hours to qualify for licensure and/or endorsement in all 50 US states + Canada and U.S. Territories.
Theory (Online or In Person)
CDL Class B ELDT School Bus theory classes at this time are available in an online format. Online classroom time is a minimum of 24 hours spent in the classroom, plus study time on your own. Everyone learns at different paces and through different styles. Our online education system allows students to test their knowledge in multiple formats and finally take a mock exam modeled after the state or federal driver's test. Our staff can tailor our training to adjust to a large group or different situations.
Behind the Wheel (Range & Road Practice)
CDL Class B ELDT behind-the-wheel time is spent in a real working school bus/passenger bus. Our staff works with you to ensure a smooth pre-trip inspection, mock driving scenarios, driving maneuvers, and response to safety situations to make sure you are comfortable in the driver's seat. Students can provide their own vehicle that passes a pre-trip inspection, is licensed in its respective state, and has insurance on the vehicle. Behind the wheel is at least 8 hours of time spent one-on-one with a training instructor. Our instructors provide real-time feedback about your driving skills, offering solutions, ideas, and areas to study and practice on.
Safety Focused Training
All of our staff focus on safety before anything else. We want to make sure drivers are able to safely operate the vehicles. We also want to make sure drivers know that in the unlikely situation that an emergency occurs, they can act swiftly, and safely and ensure the welfare of their passengers and the motoring public.
