I've not done the fingerprinting etc, but that should not be an issue (I know what's in my past - including my past background checks)

Fortunately, here in Colorado, the background is a bit less expensive: 89.25.

When I finally get the CDL, I'll have CDL-A, doubles/triples, tank, and hazmat.

Am I actually interested or impressed? not really. The idea was, and is, to open my employment options. If I can't get on with a good national company, I have a better chance at a local. Who knows, maybe I'll LIKE hauling (pick one) and go for more of it. But I'm not going to decide without at least trying it.

Nobody else in my class opted for the extra endorsements.. I think it's a mistake, but.. that's me

oh - the test I didn't take? Passenger/Busses. Driven a bus before.. know that is NOT in my future.
Come on... Somebody has to drive the greyhound when us truck drivers get stranded 1700 miles from home by one of these sorry trucking companies

I'm curious... How many drivers out there have actually left their truck or was forced to pack all their gear and jump on a bus to get home??

Congrats and I think you are correct that the other students made a mistake in not getting anymore endorsements but I guess thats their deal.
I wouldnt mind driving a bus but there's just all them different people to deal with, I dont think so........
