Class C with Passenger CDL for Michigan CDL Applicants
Michigan is the heart of US automotive manufacturing, driving strong demand for flatbed and just-in-time parts haulers.

A Class C with Passenger endorsement in Michigan covers vans and small buses designed for 16 or more people. Two knowledge tests at Michigan Department of State, General Knowledge and Passenger, plus a skills test in a Class C vehicle.
Where Michigan drivers use this
- Agriculture and food processing: farm labor crew buses carrying 16 or more workers
- Transit agencies, charter companies, and church or community buses across Michigan
- Agriculture and food processing: farm crew transport when the vehicle carries 16 or more passengers

Testing, appointments, and fees are handled by Michigan Department of State. See the Michigan CDL classes and Michigan endorsements pages for the full licensing picture.
