    Most DOT terminals rarely have any openings. Seems you explained why Vidalia is always hiring.

    @ducnut I'm taking my class at Wiregrass Technical College. I checked and it is in their list of accepted CDL schools.

    The Manchester, TN one is hiring. That's all growth though, the new DC has only been open about a year and a half.

    I just got my CDL here in ca.I took the test while I was getting my permit.school gave us a completion letter for the hazmat course before going down for our permit.after getting permit I went for finger prints.when I passed DMV road test my hazmat results were already in the system.I had my twice card before I even started school.I got the impression you thought you had to wait to get twice and hazmat.

    @James j I'm not sure how you managed that because I tried. I spoke in person with two DMV officers and their supervisor who all told me the only endorsement I could get on my permit was tankers. They said I could only get doubles and triples and hazmat once I got my full CDL.

    The process for hazmat will vary from state to state.

    What REALLY matters: you have that hazmat endorsement before you start applying for CDL jobs, as a rookie driver.

    An ability to pass a government security clearance is always a nice selling point -- especially in the current CDL job market.

    Varies by state. I got mine in GA in 2011 and had doubles and tank on permit. Did the haz stuff in school and got it the day I got my cdl.

    @wulfman75 It must be different now because I'm in GA and all they allowed on the permit was tankers. Just FYI for anyone else who wants to know about GA.
