Question

Do i need a CDL license when driving a van with 13 children. Do i need to be on my employers insurance?

Answer 1

Depends on your States DMV requirements. Most require a special license for over 15 passengers. You definitely want to be covered by your companies insurance. (Unless you have enough money to pay for all lawsuits that could come as a result of an accident.)

Answer 2

It does not matter how many children you are ACTUALLY carrying, if the vehicle is DESIGNED to carry 16 or more people (including the driver) then you will need a CDL with a P endorsement.  Also, if it is a school vehicle, you need a CDL with a S endorsement.
