    Got my med cert. Got my cdl knowledge. Air brake. Combo. Was thinking about getting passenger and school bus endorsement because of the rule changes Feb 7th. If I have my endorsement before that and do not get school bus license will that be voided after a year and will I have to go through new training requirements anyway? Or can I renew them and not be subject to Feb 7th rules?

    Make sure to get your Tanker endorsement if you are getting your CDL license for trucks. There is lots of freight that goes into a dry van, refrigerated trailer, or flatbed that you cannot carry unless you have the Tanker endorsement. The tanker endorsement test is easy and there is no road test necessary.

    Are you trying to get a semi-truck CDL and a Passenger (P) - school bus (B) commercial license at the same time? If so, I believe you have to pass 2 road tests. one road test in a semi-truck and trailer and another road test in a passenger/school bus. I believe when you take a knowledge test for an endorsement it is only valid for a certain amount of time. I can't find that time period on my state's web site. It might be as short as 30 days. Anyone know how long a CLP is valid?

    Thanks for the reply. ..did not know that about tanker endorsement. Not sure you understood the question though. As far as I understand if you want an endorsement added after Feb 7th you going to have to go through some kind of training/school????
