A Class B Maine license allows drivers to operate a vehicle up to 26,000 pounds. Past students have been hired as bus drivers at a variety of locations in the Portland area, including MetroBus and Portland Public Schools. Students will be using the State of Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicle handbook and online resources to prepare for the multiple choice exam.
