DMV 'lost' My Doubles And Triples Endorsement

So somewhere in between me passing the written exam and then actually getting my cdl , the DMV stopped adding my doubles and triples endorsement on my permits and finally my license. When fedex did my background check today they discovered that it's not even in the system despite me passing it on day 2 at the academy. Now I've been running around all day trying to get ahold of somebody who can get me a copy of my written test scores. This has involved calling 3 different DMV's, 2 separate highway patrol offices, as well as the school itself before being told that I need to talk of an examiner. Just my luck no examiners were answering their phone for like 6 hours today. Finally one called me back to tell me that there's nothing she could do today and that I'd have to come back tomorrow. To top it all off, I live about two hours away from the city that I did my testing in so it's not like I can just bounce back in and say wasap? Am I just having extraordinarily bad luck today or what?

With all the time they have already made you waste trying to get this fixed. It might be quicker, easier, and cheaper just to take the test again. Large government bureaucracies are not known for fast response and DMV has a rep as one of the worst. I am surprised the school did not make a copy for their records. Your only bad luck is having to deal with the DMV. Hope it works out for you.

Yeah, I could take the test again, but I don't want to pay 70 bucks for a new license when it was their screw up in the first place. The school also didn't have a copy of my test results because I passed on my first day there and went ahead and turned my papers in to get my permit immediately without going back to the school. One of those things where over achieving screwed me over in the end.
