Follow these steps:

At the Arkansas Revenue Office pick up the Class B CDL Packet to receive certification for Class B CDL with the Air Brake certification, the passenger endorsement, and the School Bus endorsement.  You will have to bring a certified birth certificate or passport and the cost of the packet is $50 – save your receipt, the district will reimburse you.

2. Study sections 1-5 and 10-13 in the manual, along with the ‘S’ endorsement study handout you received with the manual.
