    If you can pass the practice tests on top of this page, then yoy can pass the real tests. Sorry but ot is not really an excuse. I worked 45 hours a week and went to cdl school 25 hours a week and I have 2 kids at home. I still made time to get all my endorsements well before my driving test.

    LTL jobs haul HM. No endorsement,no haul. That's what they do. Tanks not often.

    The tanker endorsement is for a new hazmat rule concerning bulk totes of liquid hazmat. As a result, LTL companies want drivers to have that one as well.

    Right. I remember hearing something like that. We didn't need tank endorsement for totes when I ran LTL/line. 1 more year for this crusty trucker.

    I studied for a couple of hours Doubles and tanker , came on here to practice and I feel confident I can pass !!
    It's not a lot of information , like Hazmat.
    I will be asking for a day of next week so I can go to DMV and pass those two first

    I have been given loads with small amounts of hazmat, but since it wasn't much I didn't need placards or the endorsement

    Good luck, if your getting a day off, you should try to schedule your hazmat fingerprinting with TSA for the same day and get the ball rolling with that

    Agreed... Keep that ball rolling and know the finger printing will take some time so don't save that for last.

    Stay Safe,
