Endorsements to get, DMV Test Genie app

Keep in mind, the passenger and school bus endorsements will require a separate road test in a bus.

 

also for the passenger/school bus endorsements (finger prints and back ground check is required also)...haz mat also requires prints and back ground check. all paid seperately

 

You need general knowledge, pretrip, air brakes, and combination for your class a.
I got tank, hazmat, doubles and triples straight out of school.
I refuse to get passenger anything, i don’t want my cargo talking to me at all.
Doubtful I’ll ever need or use doubles, but i figured it might be handy.
Tank and hazmat will make you money.
Often, companies pay a premium for those…I’ve seen 15 cents a mile just for having them, on top of base pay.
Tankers generally pay better than most other modes. It’s also much more dangerous, due to slosh.
You absolutely have to be on your game pulling tankers.
They are very unforgiving of stupid.
Turn sharply, tip over.
Swerve to dodge a dumb four wheeler, tip over..
Take a ramp too fast? Tip over.
Dangerous, yes.
Fun as Disney land? Almost.
If you can think, have vision to see well ahead of you, and recognize situations developing, you’ll do great.
Just keep your foot on the brake at stop lights…the wave will push you through the intersection if you don’t.
Personally, i won’t do anything else.
It’s always a challenge, every day is different, and not many drivers are willing to do it.
