Not sure which one?
- I already have a CDL and want to add an endorsement — you only need the endorsement course: Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus, $20 each. Skip CDL-A and CDL-B entirely.
- I'm brand new and have no CDL — start with CDL-A or CDL-B theory, then complete behind-the-wheel training locally. Theory alone does not get you licensed.
- I want all three endorsements — the 3-endorsement bundle is $50 instead of $60 separately.
- What's the cheapest way to do everything? — bundles are the floor: $50 for H+P+S, or $45 for CDL-A + CDL-B + permit prep. Adding Hazmat all-in, including the federal TSA background check and your state's endorsement fee, typically runs $110–$150.
- Tanker (N) or Doubles/Triples (T)? — those need no ELDT at all. They are knowledge-test only at your state DMV, so there is nothing to buy here for them.

Utah Passenger ELDT — Step by Step
Hold a Valid CDL
You need an existing CDL before adding the Passenger (P) endorsement. If you don't have one yet, start with CDL A or CDL B Theory ELDT.
Complete Passenger ELDT Online
Complete DLA Academy's FMCSA-approved Passenger ELDT online in under 2 hours. Auto-submitted to FMCSA TPR.
Pass the P Endorsement Knowledge Test at Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD)
Visit Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD) to take the Passenger knowledge test. Most states also require a skills test in a passenger vehicle.
Receive Your P Endorsement
Once Utah DLD has your ELDT completion and test results, the Passenger endorsement is added to your CDL.
What DLA Academy's Passenger ELDT Covers
- Vehicle inspection for passenger transport
- Loading and unloading passengers
- Emergency evacuations
- Railroad-highway grade crossings
- Passenger management and safety
- Anti-lock braking systems
What's on the Utah Passenger (P) Endorsement Test
After you finish Passenger (P) ELDT, Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD) still administers its own knowledge test before adding the endorsement to your CDL. The questions come from the Utah DLD CDL manual, and the core topics are consistent across states:
- Loading and unloading passengers — where passengers may stand or sit, keeping the aisle and stepwell clear, securing the vehicle before anyone boards or exits
- Emergency exits and evacuation — locating and operating every exit, briefing passengers, and deciding when to evacuate versus keep passengers aboard
- Brake-door interlocks — what the interlock does, why it exists, and why it is never a substitute for the parking brake
- Hours of service — the federal limits as they apply to passenger-carrying drivers
- Defensive driving — following distance, railroad crossings, pedestrians, and the stopping distance of a loaded bus
Question counts and passing scores are set by Utah DLD and vary, so treat the official Utah DLD CDL manual as authoritative. For a fuller breakdown of the exam, see our Passenger (P) endorsement test guide.
Is there a skills test too?
In most states, yes. Passing the Passenger (P) knowledge test is usually not the last step — Utah DLD typically also requires an in-vehicle skills test in an actual bus, including an endorsement-specific pre-trip inspection and an on-road drive. Confirm with Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD) before you schedule.
What does the Passenger (P) endorsement cost in Utah?
The FMCSA-required ELDT theory is $20 at DLA Academy. On top of that, Utah DLD charges its own endorsement and testing fees, which it sets and can change — check the current amounts on the official Utah DLD site. There is no TSA background check for Passenger (P), which is why it costs considerably less than adding Hazmat.
Add the S Endorsement
Drivers adding Passenger often add School Bus too — many districts require both. DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT is $20 — or save by grabbing the 3-endorsement bundle for $50.
