Endorsements: Everything You Need To Know!

The tests you'll face depend entirely on the endorsement you're seeking. Here's a breakdown of what to expect for each common endorsement:

☢️Hazardous Materials (H) Endorsement: This one is a bit different. You will have to pass a knowledge test and also a background check from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). No skills test is required for this endorsement. The questions on the knowledge test will cover topics like the ones in the flashcards you're studying, including placarding, shipping papers, and handling procedures.☢️

🚭Tanker (N) Endorsement: To get this endorsement for hauling liquids or gases, you only need to pass a knowledge test. You do not have to take a skills test. The questions will focus on the unique challenges of handling liquid bulk cargo, such as surging and managing a high center of gravity.🚭

🅿️Passenger (P) Endorsement: This endorsement is for driving vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver). It requires both a knowledge test and a skills test. The skills test must be taken in a passenger vehicle and will test your ability to safely operate a bus.🅿️

🚌School Bus (S) Endorsement: This is a very specific endorsement that requires additional steps. You will need to pass both a knowledge test and a skills test in a school bus. You'll also need to pass a background check. This endorsement requires a "P" endorsement, as it's a specific type of passenger transport.🚌

🚚Doubles/Triples (T) Endorsement: This endorsement allows you to pull two or three trailers. You only need to pass a knowledge test to obtain it. There is no skills test required, but you must have a Class A CDL.🚚

‼️Remember, all of these endorsements require you to first have a valid Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) with the corresponding endorsement‼️
