MN driver training school bonds.
$30,000 tier. Soft pull.
Minnesota licenses commercial driver training schools through the Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services, and conditions the license on a continuous surety bond under Minn. Stat. 171.34. This is the $30,000 tier — ours is $900 flat, 3% of the bond amount. One soft credit pull, which affects approval, never the price.

Reviewed & approved
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the school bond actually guarantees
No commercial driver training school may operate in Minnesota without a license from the Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services. Under Minn. Stat. 171.34 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 7411, the license is conditioned on a continuous surety bond.
The bond is conditioned on the school faithfully performing all contracts and agreements with its students and complying with the driver-training statutes (Minn. Stat. 171.33–171.41) and rules. A student harmed by a breach can claim against the bond, up to its penal sum.
The required bond amount is tiered to the number of students enrolled the prior calendar year — this page covers the $30,000 tier, the highest standard tier. At this size we run one soft credit pull as part of underwriting; it informs approval, never the flat 3% price.
