Question on license endorsements

I'm in NC.
There are several endorsements available on CDL license.
Hazmat, Carrying people, etc.

Do all of these require another road test as well as a written test?

If you have a CDL and want to be able to drive a bus or a tanker, what's involved?

Thanks
Len

With the exception of the passenger endorsement all others are strictly written tests.

If you get the passenger endorsement you will have to take another road test in an appropriate vehicle such as a large (15 or more passengers) van or bus.

If you're not Grandfathered you'll have to take a road test unless I'm missing something here.

if you go down on the website in PA it says you only has to pass the written test for passenger.

I quote:

Quote:

Bus drivers must have a passenger endorsement on their commercial driver's license. To get the endorsement you must pass a knowledge test on Sections 2 and 4 of this manual. (If your bus has air brakes, you must also pass a knowledge test on Section 5.) You must also pass the skills tests required for the class of vehicle you drive.

it says CLASS OF VEHICLE you drive. I dont think they mean it has to be a bus. I know i got mine around a year ago and it was just written test but i allready had my class A.
