Feds Claiming Veto Power On State Commercial Drivers License With Haz Mat
Things have slowed up so much in my business that I've been holding myself out in any other capacity lately, and since I hold a commercial Drivers license, I offer myself up as a relief driver for big rigs, bob tail trucks, or whatever else. I just had to turn down a 3 day job because I did not have a passenger vehicle endorsement on my Class A license. In other words, I can drive 75 foot tractor trailers, including doubles and triple combinations, but can't drive a bus. So I decided to get an upgrade to keep my value at a premium in these difficult times. While I was at it, I also thought I'd upgrade to a hazardous materials (haz mat) endorsement so I could be hired to pull tankers, bottled gasses, chemicals, etc. I actually had that endorsement in the 90's, but stopped renewing it many years ago for lack of need. What I discovered though, was that our big brother is now reviewing the applications for Haz Mat, and they can deny it even though it's a state issued license.

One last thing. How far back does your permanent record go? Well, when you're a commercial driver, apparently 55 years. A major violation will stay on your record for 55 years. A major violation can be as minor as driving a bus without a passenger endorsement on your class A license: Quote:
