Delaware Class C w/Passenger Package

Class C w/Passenger Package for Delaware CDL Applicants

Delaware handles heavy chemical and pharmaceutical freight along the busy I-95 Northeast corridor. With chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, port and container freight, food distribution driving much of the freight in Delaware, the Class C w/Passenger Package material below is the part of the Delaware CDL that those employers screen for first.

A Class C with Passenger endorsement in Delaware covers vans and small buses designed for 16 or more people. Two knowledge tests at Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles, General Knowledge and Passenger, plus a skills test in a Class C vehicle.

Where Delaware drivers use this

• Transit agencies, charter companies, and church or community buses across Delaware
• Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing: light HazMat delivery routes when the load requires placards
• Smaller school buses and activity buses for Delaware school districts (P and S endorsements)
• Shuttle, paratransit, and church or community vans built for 16 or more passengers

Most Delaware CDL work runs the I-95, I-295 corridors and the Dover area, so the examples in the practice questions lean on the vehicles and loads you will see there.
