To transport passengers in a commercial vehicle, a passenger endorsement is required. This endorsement signifies that the driver has undergone the necessary training and has demonstrated the knowledge and skills needed to safely operate a vehicle designed to carry multiple passengers. It ensures that the driver is familiar with the specific regulations, safety measures, and emergency procedures that apply to passenger transport.

In contrast, a hazardous materials endorsement is intended for drivers who transport dangerous goods; it does not apply to passenger transport. The tanker endorsement is required for those driving trucks that haul liquids in bulk, while the double/triple endorsement pertains to vehicles that pull multiple trailers. Each of these endorsements focuses on different vehicle operations and cargo types, but only the passenger endorsement specifically addresses the requirements for transporting individuals safely.
