    so I got my DOT knocked out no problem and almost ready for the written exams.

    Question I can’t seem to find an answer too.. if I fail any of the endorsements, do I have to retake the whole thing or just the portions I missed?

    Been meaning to call the dmv but I am usually asleep during business hours so I haven’t had a chance.

    Just the portions you missed. For instance, if you fail hazmat but pass everything else you just have to retake hazmat.

    Unless its changed you'll only have to retake the test you fail.

    i believe it's you have three chances to pass the written then you have to come back in 90 days

    You will need to retake the ones you failed.

    Example Hazmat. If you did not pass that test you will not get that endorsement.

    Also the practice test on this site helped me tremendously with my tanker, hazmat, and doubles endorsement.

    I'm not knowledgeable, but someone told me you can fail up to 4 times and retake only those you fail, but if you fail the fifth time you must retake everything
