Message:: [QUOTE="CAXPT, post: 12183525, member: 14294"]Here's the problem, from my point of view. Depending on the requirements of the state, and whether you actually have to do a driving test in the equipment you're getting an endorsement in, you may have to pay or provide the equipment. If not, and it's a test only, no biggie..but I got mine years ago by grandfathering my work history on the vehicles so I didn't have to drive each type of vehicle when the CDL just came out, and took them all. Now, there is this additional course you need to take as a new driver, I believe..forgot what it's called, but that may also be another hurdle. Like the others have said, if you don't need it right now, and since you don't have past work history, you may need to prove you can operate the type of equipment in a driving test, and if that is the case, it's probably best to wait until your employer decides to train you on the equipment properly before you go for the endorsement, since they will most likely provide the equipment also for you to take that test if a driving test is required.  Find out what you need to know before jumping for it. Here is not the place, your DMV office is. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  Good luck.[/QUOTE]
