I know this is a few months old and I apologize, but I just walked out of the California DMV. I'm furious that I've had my CDL for close to ten years and just tried adding the X endorsement (hazmat with tanker), and was told I need to take another drive test and was given a permit? In the other states where I had my CDL, you just took the written exam and passed, and that was it. You had your endorsements. Hell, I had those endorsements since 2010 and just had them removed six months ago because I didn't need them anymore.
I'm working out of state, and was told I can only get my testing done in state. Is this true? I can't find any mention of it anywhere online, and they didn't tell me this until they handed me my permit and tried to send me on my way.
