Q: How does the owner of my limousine company get his certification to administer to me the driver training I need.
I will be driving a “party van” that holds 12 passengers. Its a Mercedes Sprinter Van. Less than 26000 lbs.
I’m getting a CDL Class C with passenger endorsement.
I’ve passed all necessary tests and medical, etc. Just need
the 15 hours of driver training. This is in California. I can’t afford an outside driver training facility
A:
In California, for the owner of your limousine company to provide the required driver training for a CDL Class C with a passenger endorsement, they must be qualified and authorized to do so.
Firstly, the owner should ensure they have a thorough understanding and experience with the type of vehicle and the specific driving skills required for the CDL Class C passenger endorsement. This includes knowledge of California's commercial driving regulations and safety standards.
The owner must then apply to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to become a certified trainer. This process involves submitting proof of their qualifications and experience, and possibly undergoing an assessment by the DMV. The DMV evaluates the applicant's ability to effectively train and evaluate drivers according to state standards.
Once approved and certified by the DMV, the owner can legally provide you with the 15 hours of driver training required. It's important that all training sessions are documented properly, as you'll need to present this documentation to the DMV when applying for your endorsement.
It's advisable for the owner to contact the local DMV office or visit their website for detailed information on the certification process and requirements. Being proactive and well-informed will facilitate a smoother process in getting the necessary certification.
