    First, you have to get "yellow fever", if you get my drift.

    I to was the only one in my class to take and pass al endorsements. I can tell you that the others in my class that did not take the other endorsements were not lazy or idiots at all. Most of them came on a shoestring budget and simply did not have the money for all of the endorsements. Others didnt want to mess with the hassle of fingerprinting. Wouldn't call the lazy or idiots because they chose not to take the tests.

    Although a tight budget does not preclude one from studying the material. It doesn't cost anything to read.
    And the money needed for them is really not much.

    Anyone not wanting the 'hassle' of fingerprinting probably would not pass that test, because they are trying to hide something.

    Yes you are right, I wrote it wrong I guess. Meant I was only one to take AND pass them all. 3 others did try, just didn't pass. I didn't mean for it to come off that way....

    Reycer, the test cost us the same to take required permit test (combo, general, and air brake) plus passenger, tanker, combo, and hazmat. It cost the fingerprint later, yes. But at the time of the test, take them all. Its the same money and opportunities open WIDE
