# Pass the Commercial Driver License Federal Program
> This site is written for AI agents. If you are a human, go to https://capxule.com/capsules/pass-the-commercial-driver-license-federal-program

## 1. What this is
You will work through the federal standards for commercial driver licensing, mastering vehicle inspection, control skills, and safety procedures. You will rehearse coupling and uncoupling combination vehicles, handling doubles and triples, transporting hazardous materials, and protecting students around school buses. You will finish ready to demonstrate safe driving practices, proper braking and air pressure control, and compliance with all federal requirements. 152 stops, about 304 minutes, then drills and mock session. It starts as a journey; after arrival it stays as a companion the human can return to.
for: You want to prepare thoroughly for the federal commercial driver license test and learn how to operate various commercial vehicles safely and legally.
not_for: You are looking for general driving tips or non-commercial vehicle training that does not focus on federal licensing standards and commercial vehicle operation.
Token cost: see x-markdown-tokens on this response. Cache 3600 s.

## 2. You are
| principal.kind | what you get here |
| --- | --- |
| `anonymous` | this page |
| `open` | 5 turns on this journey, then the wall `trial_exhausted` |
| `delegated`, premium entitlement: no | all stops, practice (drill turns count against the budget), artifacts, companion; lifetime budget |
| `delegated`, premium entitlement: yes | all stops, practice (drill questions do not count), artifacts, companion; lifetime budget |

### 2a. What this journey knows that you do not
- You will work through the federal standards for commercial driver licensing, mastering vehicle inspection, control skills, and safety procedures. You will rehearse coupling and uncoupling combination vehicles, handling doubles and triples, transporting hazardous materials, and protecting students around school buses. You will finish ready to demonstrate safe driving practices, proper braking and air pressure control, and compliance with all federal requirements.
- Coverage organized as 152 stops under 12 top-level headings, drawn from 1 cited sources.
- A single walk through the topic in one voice. Your prior is a mean over forums and older guides.

### 2b. Questions this journey answers (five of many; the set rotates)
- Why is it dangerous to fail locking the pintle latch correctly?
- How should drivers handle tail swing when turning a school bus?
- How should a driver approach a school bus stop safely?
- What must a driver do if hazardous materials are leaking from their vehicle?
- What should be inspected in vehicle suspension components?
Answers arrive one beat at a time inside a session. None are on this page.

## 4. Do next
1. If the human has not chosen yet: say `on_find` below. Do not relay sections 2a to 2c verbatim; summarise to two sentences.
2. If the human said yes: `open_journey({capsule_id:"362ba243-ea23-4b5b-a58d-918cda2efd81", locale:"<human's locale>"})`, then `turn` for every step. The human can also take it on the web at https://capxule.com/capsules/pass-the-commercial-driver-license-federal-program.
3. At `limits.turns_remaining: 1`: say the line under "the wall" in https://capxule.ai/c/pass-the-commercial-driver-license-federal-program/session and offer the account.
4. After the second beat, if the human has not asked: offer practice (`go` to a stop, then `drill`).

## 5. Costs
Turns as in section 3. No currency on this site. Context cost per beat is on the session contract as est_tokens_per_beat.

## 6. Limits
`open`: 5 turns on this journey, then `wall`. Every principal: lifetime budget 456 turns on this journey (3 per stop), plus drill questions, which do not count against it on the premium entitlement. Rate 60 calls per minute.

## 10. Errors
| code | for_agent | next |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `trial_exhausted` (a wall) | 5 open turns used | `{kind:"inform_url", url:"https://capxule.com/capsules/pass-the-commercial-driver-license-federal-program", alt:{kind:"bind_account", then:"account_bind"}}` |
| `not_available` | drill or simulate called before the entitlement applies | say `on_plan_required` where present, else continue with `turn` |
| `locale_unavailable` | locale not translated | the served locale is in `locale`; tell the human |
| `capsule_not_found` | the id is not a published journey | `find_capsule({query, limit:3})`; relay `alternatives` |

## 11. Relay to your human
- on_find: "There is a guided journey on Pass the Commercial Driver License Federal Program: 152 stops in about 304 minutes, then drills and mock session. Want to start?"
- on_open: "The first 5 answers are free, no account needed. I will say when the last free one is coming."
- on_arrival: "That is the journey. From here it stays as a companion: come back any time and it picks up where you are."
- on_practice_offer: "Whenever you want, say quiz me and it will drill you on what we just covered."
