Kids, could I get fired for not getting endorsements ?

Hazmat was a little tricky for me. Had to study a bit. The rest were a joke.

 

Some carriers will hire you with the provision on your job offer that you get these items. I know a guy that went through this. He did not lose his job but he got stuck out west somewhere because he did not have hazmat and the company pulled mostly hazmatted loads out of that area. If my memory serves me this guy sit in that truck stop for 5 or 6 days till a none hazmat load come available. When he got home he got the fingerprint process started.

 

If you really like this job then I would get to studying quick because I'm sure they have people lined up behind you for the job.

 

As others have said the tank and doubles test are a joke.... You should pass those easily .

The hazmat is a little tricky and needs to be studied for .....

 

The amount of time it took me to go through this thread I could have finished a couple of sections on the DMV handbook already.

 

I highly suggest you get the fingerprinting part of the hazmat completed ASAP. It takes a while to get the results back.

The tests in WA were very straight forward and not too hard.

Good luck!

 

They could fire you for being ugly if they wanted to.

If the endorsements are not any harder than the rest of the CDL tests it should not be a big deal. I read 3/4 of the book in one evening, finished the next morning and went straight to the DMV and easily passed all five of my tests. The endorsements aren't any driving stuff just a written test. Spend about four hours reading that crap and one hour to take the test and you are done.


I don't have any endorsements because I do t need them. I have my own truck and flatbed and can't think of why I would ever need them as mostly I haul my own equipment around on my flatbed.

 

At 60 days you are probably still on your probationary period. Yes, they probably could fire you.

 

No reason. Everytime you sit on the throne read a few pages. Those tests are easy
