    It goes without saying that it is improper English. I guess the fact that you must take multiple tests for CDL endorsements explains why people use it. Now if someone could help me understand the use of axed instead of asked...

    It is a term used by people with an IQ of less than 60.
    They should not function in society, and many do not. Those that do not are very liberal and want free money, or the money they believe that they are "owed".
    Or your average youth under age 25. But I digress.

    Poor English. CDL, with such and such endorsements would be more correct. Or CDL A which is listing which class of license you have, since you can get a CDL C, B, or A. (That's in CA anyway, may be different for another state)

    In Ontario Canada we call a "CDL" a class A.
    It allows any tractor-trailer or combination of motor vehicle and towed vehicles where the towed vehicles exceed a total gross weight of 4,600 kilos (10,141 Lbs ).
    To drive an air brake equipped vehicle, we need a Z endorsement.
    Hence AZ. :biggrin_25525:

    I hope he doesn't have CDL's. It's illegal to have more than one! ####, what state are you from?
