    Busses that size often don’t require CDLs, definitely don’t require a CDL B. A true bus is much, much bigger than a 350 (source, I drive a bus). An E350 has a GVWR of around 4-5 tons. I drive busses with GVWRs of 16-27 tons. (Their visibility is much, much better than this because the engine is in the back like basically all full busses)

        Ah, where I am it’s “designed to seat” more than 16 for it to require a CDL. More than 9 seems more reasonable honestly, we have lots of non-CDL school “busses” here.
