Chances are if you are new, you won't be driving a tanker with no experience. Get on the road for at least 6 months and then get the endorsements.

Get every endorsement you can on the first shot. You never know when you will want/need them!

I agree. Better to have and not need when job searching than to need and not have.

thanks for the advice, i have to go back with my birth certifacate and ss card and proof of residency(new law of some sort at least in ga) to get my hard copy. i got issued a 120 day paper in meantime . then i will try for all my endorsements. thanks again

Get a Doubles and trips, Tanker, and definitely get a Hazmat. Down the road once you get some exp. You'll open up alot of doors in trucking and you won't have to take time off to get these. Knock it out now. A good job might pop up you qualify for and there might be limited spots while your going to get the endorsements the other guy got the job. This site has the practice test, just take them over and over and you'll pass without reading the DMV book and free. Just renewed my Hazmat, passed with ease today.
SurfingTrucker and bryanrutledge Thank this. -

Get at least tanker with the new rule on ibc's (totes). 119g or more per container and more than 1000g you will need tankers endorment.
