Is it possible to get the hazmat endorsement After you get your official liscense? Im in trucking school right now, about to finish, havent gotten the hazmat yet but the instructors want me to go ahead and take the driving test. ...what to do..... also waht about the other endorsements like dooubles and triples can you get those afterwards too?

Yes you can. All you have to do is go in and take the tests, then pay the $$.

Thanks =) do you have any idea then why my instructors are all gung ho about everybody getting these tests done before getting our liscense?

You can do it either way. Its just easier to get them all done at the same time and will make you more marketable to companies hiring students from the school.

I don't know how it works in your state but as far as here in Nevada U can take all your tests at the DMV at the same time.BUT with the hazmat endorsement u HAVE 2 have a backround check on u BEFORE u can apply 4 hazmat. Check with your school,they should have the necessary paperwork on the hazmat backround check packet.My school did anyway.As far as doubles/triples/tankers endorsements all u have 2 do is take the tests.U just tell the DMV clerk that u want 2 take the tests for your endorsements and they will.BUT also keep in mind that there is an extra fee for these endorsements.They give u an option to either pay all of the money up front (which a HIGHLY RECOMMEND u 2 do) OR u can just take the CDL test and take the other endorsement tests later on.The reason why I recommend that you pay 4 everything up front is because its cheaper if u do that.Well at least here in Nevada it is.The way the costs works is u can pay $45 PLUS an additional $35 2 get all of your endorsements (with the exception of HAZMAT) OR pay your $45 for the original CDL with NO endorsements and pay $35 EACH for your endorsements at a later time.SO in others DO THE MATH!!!! The thing about Hasmat though it is $91 by itself REGAURDLESS if u get all of your other endorsements or not.So in Nevada it's $45 for CDL $35 for all endorsements (if u decide 2 pay it all at once others $35 each) and then $91 for your Hazmat which again u have 2 have a thorough backround check performed on u 1st.Anyway I hope this helps GOOD LUCK

The schools want to see their students get as many endosements as possible. Beside if you don't make one they can help. It does look better to have all the endosements as possible. I had TPX in NV and that was for all the endosements except busses and motorcycles. BTW "The Las Vegas One" my Avatar is a Las Vegas truck.
