Go to the Revenue Office (in Searcy) and pay $50 for the application and test book. You will need to get a Class C license with Air Brake Restriction (no air brakes) .  \n2. Study the CDL Book Chapters 2 and 4. Use the study questions, but do not rely solely on those.  \n3. When you are ready to test, take all your papers to the Carmichael Community Center and tell the tester that you need only a Class C license, with no air brakes. You do not need the school bus endorsement! You will take the General Knowledge Test (Chapter 2) first, then the Passenger (Chapter 4) test. You must have a minimum score of 80% to pass.  \n4. Once the tests are passed, you will be provided with a driving permit to allow you to practice driving with a qualified driver.  \n5. You will need to call the CDL testing center at (870) 523-4849 in Newport to set up an appointment for the road test. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays are going to be the best times for bus availability. Please coordinate with the Parking & Transportation Office before you call so we can ensure a bus is available for the desired times.  \n6. The road test is fairly simple. First you will be required to back into a slot from a 45 degree angle without hitting the barrels, then drive through a straight channel of barrels and back out again without hitting any of them. Finally you will take the bus out for about a 10-mile loop on the interstate and through town.  \n7. Upon completion of the course, you will be instructed to go back to the Revenue Office foryour driver's license. The CDL license will cost $43.50 and is good for four years.  \n8. Take your new CDL license to the Parking & Transportation Office so it can be documented.  \n9. If you have not completed the online Driver Training, you will be required to do so before you can drive University vehicles.  \nList of Disqualifying Offenses  \nThe following offenses may prevent you from obtaining a CDL:  \n1.
