Driving a school bus in Montana means navigating long rural routes, mountainous terrain, and unpredictable weather. Roads can be icy during winter, and visibility can drop quickly. When you’re transporting children to and from school, there’s no room for mistakes. That is why school districts employ professional drivers for this job. If you are interested in a career as a school bus driver, you will begin by studying and mastering commercial driving theory.
This subject is thoroughly described in the official Montana Commercial Driver License Manual (Montana CDL Handbook 2026). Please read its contents multiple times to learn more about safe driving practices, school buses, the pre-trip inspections, and the air braking system. Before you can get behind the wheel of a school bus, you must obtain a School Bus (S) endorsement on your Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) or Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This endorsement is granted after scoring 80% or higher on an official knowledge exam with 20 multiple-choice questions based on the school bus section of the commercial driver license manual.
