    while waiting to get my hazmat,tanker,and doubles endorsements probably in a month or so before I start applying for LTL driver. I have no experience LTL driving, but have 7 months OTR driving experience back in 2008. Should I take a refresher course, and then apply to LTL companies when I have all my endorsements....? Just looking for ways to help me get on as being a LTL driver in a month or so. Thanks for the advice.

    Why do you have to wait a month to get your endorsements?

    Since 2008 I have been driving a cargo van for a company so ya probably need refresher course. Superpet it takes time to get fingerprints and background check done. I have application and fingerprints done since 3/17 so shouldnt be much longer.

    That's 2 good ones for tanker. Check with Conway about refresher, not sure, but worth a phone call or website check. Paschall Truck Lines might put you on the road with dry van.
