I just realized that I might be interested in truck driving 3 days ago (Oct. 28th 2014).

Hi All!
Question: When do I have to take the tests to get endorsements like tanker and hazmat? Is it right after I take the permit test or after I actually get my CDL A license?
I'm starting at Prime on Monday (the 16th) and I'm a little confused because Prime makes it seem like I will have to test for the endorsements (at least the tanker endorsement) the week of orientation but I thought I had to have my license first.
Thanks for the input in advance!
Oh and sorry for falling off the face of the Earth for 2 months. I moved back to Delaware from NC so I could focus on gaining support from my family in order to pursue my trucking aspirations.

The schedule of a trucker in a nutshell.
I go to bed anywhere from 9:00-11:00 and get up anywhere from 2:00-4:00. Five hours of sleep at a time has always been plenty for me. I usually try to sneak in a nap during the afternoon at some point also.
Brett, I just read your article Rookie Drivers: Time Management Tips And Mileage Goals and realized that you have already talked about your sleep schedule. I need to read through the blogs/articles better. Are there any questions that you haven't had to answer multiple times in the forum? Copy and paste much?

The coolest thing I have done as a PSD.
Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel is awesome. I've driven over it a dozen times in my 4-wheeler going back and forth from NC to DE/PA. There are a couple good views on i76 west going through the mountains in central PA and into Pittsburgh. I can't wait to git on the road in a big 'ole rig! I'm ready to do a Ric Flair "WOO WOO WOO" just thinking about it! MAN! The waiting is killing me!

I changed my avatar again but posted what it used to be below.
That was one funny movie!

Definitely one of my favorite funny movies of all time. I tried to find a truck driving related gif but everything I downloaded wouldn't upload to photo bucket. The file sizes were too big, according to the inter webs. So, I came across this guy giving the signal, laughed for an hour about it, then tried to see if it would work and BAM! Hilariousness for all. I want to start quoting stuff from this movie but it wouldn't be appropriate. NSFW either.
Happy Monday Everyone!

If your instructor looks like anything like my new avatar, I think he's telling you stop.
Coincidentally it's the most important signal to agree upon.

Congratulations Adam!
I'm glad you mentioned the amount of time you spent studying the High Road material, it is something I wonder about when I hear people say they got their permit.

Thanks Old School! Not sure how I overlooked that.
