    OIC, so it's just yer pretty-much-standard goobermental boo-rock-ra-cee crapola. :banghead:

    ie: Fingerprint/Background check - TSA (Federal)
    Written Test - administered by the State

    With each and every state decidin on its own which comes foist an' how much it should cost.

    Oh yeah, makes perfect sense. :scratch: :smt102

    (Earl - it's that way in NC as well.....TSA first, then test, $89.25)

    You would think that they would also require a certain number of safe driving years...

    I agree but than again most trucking companies that haul only hazmat required min.of 2 years experience.See if you are hauling a dry van that has cleaning chemicals like hand bath soap or household cleaners etc,then you need a hazmat endorsment.Now for oil companies and fuel hauling companies,those companies do required min.of otr years experience.Even tanker companies do required a min.1-2 years experince expect for schneider.
