<p>[QUOTE="keelady, post: 102362, member: 3583"]I believe they only checked my MVR before allowing me to take the test -- to make sure I had a valid drivers' license. The intensive background check -- with the fingerprinting, is done before you can get your hazmat endorsement. I will be getting that after I get my CDL. The guy at the school suggested that I wait, because if I get my hazmat now, then the driving test to get the CDL is more involved -- I guess you have to make sure to go over certain types of railroad crossings and such. As far as I'm concerned, the less chances I have to mess up on the driving test, the better for me, so I'll get the hazmat later. Then, all I'll have to do is the fingerprinting, background check and take the test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
