endorsements question

hey all. hopefully testing for cdl in a week or so depending on when i get to road training for swift in minnesota. i have my permit and ive been studying for the tank, doubles/triples and hazmat endorsements. can i take them now while i have a permit and have them show up on the permit and then have them carry over for my full CDL or should i wait till i have my cdl?

 

Take them now. What about the combo vehicle endorsement? Didn't you take that? You could have taken them all at once.

 

oh no i have my permit and the basic cdl stuff, gen/air/combo. i have to go thru road training and cdl testing for swift. i was just wondering if i could take the other endorsements now.

 

Sure. You can take them now. Go for it. Good luck.

 

sweet, thanx. how much will it cost me?

 

The cost (if I remember correctly) will be around $100. And then another $100 or so for Haz Mat. Don't forget your TWIC card as well.
Swift should reimburse you for the Haz Mat & TWIC I believe.

 

Each state has its own rate. How much did the airbrake endorsement cost you? Should be in line with that. According to this site, each endorsement exam fee is only $2.50 each.

Hazmat is more.

 

thanx guys. though it says i need to have a CDL which i dont yet, just the permit

 

How did you get your other endorsements if you are first required to have a CDL?

 

i just have the permit, i had to take general, air brakes and combo in order to get it, theyre all i have
