Do you need tanker endorsement to haul totes full of liquid?

'Cause it's California?

 

Didn’t have to do any extra tests in Missouri. Scheduled a test online, Went in, took the tanker test, went to the license bureau and they took my old CDL and gave me a temporary paper one. Got the regular license in the mail a week later. There was a few small fees involved.

 

I believe the current tanker endorsement rules happened in 2012. I've had it since I got a CDL in 1994 so I never had to worry or react when my longtime company started a push to urge every employee to get the endorsement, they would pay.

 

His state required it since he had less than 12 months renaming before his CDL expired. They wouldn't add an endorsement with so little time remaining unless he retook all of his endorsements. States make their own rules, they don't have to make sense.

 

Not in California ... there is just a short window of a few weeks - can't remember the exact number they told me at the DMV - when you renew that you can just take the endorsement. After that, it's take all sections of the exam.

Don't know why, it's California they're f'ed up.

 

This is a fun thread I've been reading it in my underwear while this poor man is out there suffering and wanting to punt a tumbleweed or something.

Lol. Glad you got going again op.
