    I called them and they need hazmat. Unfortunately I only have a tanker endorsement.

    @Moose1958 will know if there's a required training course for the hazmat endorsement.

    Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that you actually have to attend a training course. Due to a change in the law at the beginning of this year. I was told that you cannot take the test until you have completed this new training course. Does anybody know if that's accurate?

    The last time I went after them I dropped about 7,000 keeping the wife’s record clean. The look of dismay on the cops face was priceless and I would have gladly spent an other 3 k to see the district judges face!

    FMCSA LINK!

    About the ELDT Regulations
    FMCSA’s Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations set the baseline for training requirements for entry-level drivers. This applies to those seeking to:

    • Obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time;
    • Upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL; or
    • Obtain a school bus (S), passenger (P), or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time.
    The ELDT regulations are not retroactive; individuals who were issued a CDL or an S, P, or H endorsement prior to February 7, 2022 are not required to complete training for the respective CDL or endorsement.

    If an applicant who obtained a CLP prior to February 7, 2022, and obtains a CDL before the CLP or renewed CLP expires, the applicant is not subject to the ELDT requirements.

    Any individual who meets one of the exceptions for taking a skills test in 49 CFR Part 383 is also exempt from the ELDT requirements.
