Tennessee Driver Services / FMCSA cited resources

Tennessee Passenger endorsement applicants need passenger knowledge testing and skills testing in a representative passenger vehicle. Tennessee lists the P endorsement total as $8.50, and FMCSA requires at least 80% correct on CDL knowledge tests. First-time Passenger endorsement applicants must complete ELDT when the federal rule applies. The cited Tennessee Driver Services/FMCSA sources do not publish a fixed Passenger knowledge-test question count or time limit.

Sample TN CDL Passenger Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your TN CDL Passenger exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 200+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1When does Tennessee require a CDL Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.When a CMV is designed to transport 16 or more people, including the driver
B.Only when a bus is carrying exactly 16 paying passengers
C.Only when the route crosses a Tennessee county line
D.Whenever any driver is paid to carry one passenger
Explanation: Tennessee ties the Passenger endorsement to the vehicle's design capacity. A CMV designed for 16 or more people, including the driver, requires P endorsement authority even if fewer riders are aboard on a specific trip.
2What testing does Tennessee list for adding a CDL Passenger endorsement?
A.Only a vision screening
B.Only the CDL General Knowledge test
C.A passenger knowledge test and skills tests in a passenger vehicle
D.Only an employer road evaluation
Explanation: Tennessee and FMCSA classify Passenger as an endorsement that requires both knowledge and skills testing. The skills portion must be completed in an appropriate passenger vehicle for the class of CDL sought.
3Which Tennessee CDL Manual sections should a Passenger endorsement applicant study for a bus without air brakes?
A.Sections 2 and 4
B.Only Section 1
C.Sections 6 and 7
D.Only the hazardous materials section
Explanation: Tennessee's manual directs passenger applicants to study Section 2 safe-driving material and Section 4 on transporting passengers safely. If the bus has air brakes, Section 5 is added because air brake knowledge is separately tested.
4What does a P restriction on a Tennessee CLP mean?
A.The CLP holder may not carry passengers in a CMV bus
B.The CLP holder may carry passengers only on Tennessee routes
C.The CLP holder may drive only buses with air brakes
D.The CLP holder may carry passengers only during daylight
Explanation: Tennessee's CDL manual states that a CLP issued with a Passenger endorsement must also carry a no-passengers-in-a-CMV-bus restriction. Passing the written passenger test on a permit is not the same as full CDL passenger authority.
5What minimum score is required to pass a CDL knowledge test, including a Passenger endorsement knowledge test?
A.60 percent
B.70 percent
C.75 percent
D.80 percent
Explanation: FMCSA requires driver applicants to answer at least 80 percent of each CDL knowledge test correctly. Tennessee CDL knowledge testing follows that federal passing standard.
6When does Entry-Level Driver Training apply to a Tennessee Passenger endorsement applicant?
A.When the applicant is obtaining a Passenger endorsement for the first time and the federal ELDT rule applies
B.Only after the applicant fails the Passenger knowledge test twice
C.Only when driving a bus outside Tennessee
D.Only when the passenger vehicle has no air brakes
Explanation: Tennessee's ELDT page includes applicants seeking a Passenger (P) endorsement. The requirement is tied to the federal entry-level driver training rule, not to a failed test count or a specific route.
7Where does Tennessee say CDL learner permit knowledge exams are taken?
A.At a Full-Service Driver Services Center
B.Only through an employer's dispatcher
C.Only by mail after submitting documents
D.At any county clerk counter without a testing station
Explanation: Tennessee directs CDL learner permit applicants to take general knowledge and necessary endorsement exams at a Full-Service Driver Services Center. Endorsement study or training can occur elsewhere, but the official knowledge exam is a Driver Services process.
8What Tennessee age rule applies to CDL applicants under 21?
A.They are restricted to operating only within Tennessee
B.They cannot apply for any CDL credential
C.They may drive interstate passenger routes only
D.They are exempt from Passenger endorsement testing
Explanation: Tennessee states that CDL applicants must be at least 18 and that applicants under 21 are restricted to operating only within Tennessee. That age rule does not remove the need for Passenger endorsement knowledge and skills testing.
9What total Tennessee fee is listed for adding a CDL Passenger endorsement to the base license?
A.$2.50
B.$4.50
C.$8.50
D.$26.00
Explanation: Tennessee's fee table lists the Passenger endorsement as a $2.50 endorsement cost plus a $6.00 application fee, for an $8.50 total. Other CDL permit, license, duplicate, or county clerk fees may apply depending on the transaction.
10Which document does Tennessee list first among required documents to apply for a CDL?
A.A valid DOT Medical Certification Card
B.A notarized employer route schedule
C.A school bus route map
D.A mechanic's annual inspection certificate only
Explanation: Tennessee's required-documents page lists a valid DOT Medical Certification Card first for CDL applicants. The same page also lists proof of Social Security number, identity/license, Tennessee residence, and U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status.
