Bus Driver CDL Testing
Modernizing the testing process for safe student transport
Digital CDL testing captures results with greater efficiency and accuracy.
Challenge
Specialty Commercial Driver License (CDL) tests for school bus drivers are particularly intricate, with many components and conditional variables. Static paper or PDF forms make it difficult to properly record and tabulate results.
Solution
With SimpliGov, agencies can construct bus driver–specific CDL testing forms that:
- Clearly delineate the exam into three distinct sections—1) pre-trip, 2) basic control skills, and 3) road test—and enforce date selections to ensure tests are taken in due time and proper order
- Combine the dynamic and flexible nature of SimpliGov forms with the familiar look, feel, and layout of existing PDFs
- Help systematically certify that all important bus parts—lights, engines, fluids, steering column, wheels, axles, brakes, etc.—are in working order
- Streamline real-time grading of road tests
- Automatically calculate final exam scores
