    Has anyone converted a school bus into an expeditor?

    I just ran across a 1999 International Mid Bus, short school bus, on Craigslist. It has a 7.3 liter diesel with only 16,000 miles for $4000. Not that I would do it, but could this be made into an expeditor. I know the rear doors would have to be widened. Just wondering if anyone has ever done this.

    CDL ?

    I'm new to this and still researching the business, hopeing to jump in if I can get someone to hire me. Anyway, this might be a stupid question but I want to make sure I have this correct. Any truck with a GVW under 26,000, you do not need a CDL to operate. Is this correct?
