[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1421622, member: 5053"] Okay, so I'm a little confused here, and my HR isn't very helpful. I just won a FT Feeder Cover bid (woot!). I got the call on Thursday, and they didn't know when the class would be, but they told me to get all my endorsements before the class....meaning, soon. Today, I passed 3 of the endorsement tests at the DMV (General, Combination Vehicles, Doubles/Triples), and I'll pass Hazmat and Air Brakes tomorrow. That's all they said I would need. Question: The DMV gave me a sheet about a background check and fingerprinting process for the hazmat endorsement. I can pass the test, and pay their fee and do the process for it, but the thing reads like I already have to have my CDL to get the endorsement. I don't have a CDL....I thought I didn't technically get one until the end of the first week of the class (after the driving test, pre-trip test, etc.) How do I get endorsements on my license when I haven't even had the driving test yet? Is there some proof from the DMV that I passed the written parts? HR was talking like it had to be on my license when I showed up. I'm just confused. Hopefully somebody can set me straight. I'm in NC, if it matters. Also, I'm a temp driver and just finished my 30 days at that. To get my stuff taken care of at the DMV, I may have to call in or miss a day driving (if they don't cut me this week) to take care of my business. Should I tell my sups why I'm calling out? I'm pretty sure they have no idea that I won the bid, and won't be happy that I'm leaving. Or should I just leave it at no reason? [/QUOTE]
