Texas CDL School Bus: Unloading Students Test 2026

More students are hurt getting off a bus than getting on one, and the Texas school bus unloading students test exists to change that. This 2026 CDL school bus endorsement drill for Texas drivers covers the full unloading routine: amber lights ahead of the stop, red lights and stop arm once stopped, the bus secured, students remaining seated until you say otherwise, and the count that confirms everyone is clear.

The drill also handles the harder situations. What do you do when a student must cross in front of the bus? How do you keep riders ten feet from the bumper where you can see them? What if a student drops something and darts back under the mirrors? How do you handle a missing rider after the count, or a student who never gets off at the right stop? Each answer comes back to seeing before moving.

Your Texas CDL Manual publishes the S endorsement question count. Repeat this Texas school bus unloading drill until the final mirror check is automatic.
