Why Buy a Category B+ Driving License? You'll need an Class B license when you need to drive a car with a trailer that weighs more than 26,000 pounds. It is possible to add an endorsement to the CDL class you already hold by taking a new understanding and skills test. A successful passing of an exam in category C1+E will upgrade your licence to include the full B+E eligibility. (Subject to the weight limit of your B licence.) This is only valid for UK drivers.

This class of CDL is usually used by professional bus drivers. This endorsement is not required by drivers working for a company that does not transport property or people, such as Realtors plumbers, plumbers, or meters readers. However, your employer may require this endorsement to meet insurance or safety requirements. The Regular (Class D) Driver License with Passenger (F) Endorsement may be added to a Commercial Driver's License when you are providing shuttle bus, taxi service delivery services for pizza or flowers couriers, or an ambulance driver. A For-Hire Endorsement may be added to any CDL Classification. The endorsement code is located on the back of your license, below the expiration date and right next to the letter “E”. Hazardous Materials Endorsements If you are granted an endorsement for hazardous materials it proves to employers that you are qualified to transport certain types of freight. This certification can enhance your job prospects and allow you to get better driving jobs, especially in the trucking industry. It requires a higher level of safety awareness that goes beyond the usual rules of the road, which includes handling passengers, managing onboard emergencies, and leading evacuation procedures. To get a HAZMAT (hazardous materials) certification, you'll be required to pass a written test and undergo a rigorous background check conducted by the Transportation Security Administration.

This certification is required by truck drivers who transport liquid gas and chemicals and construction site workers who bring materials to their job sites. You may need to have a CDL endorsement P (passenger), if you operate vehicles that carry passengers, like city buses and tour buses. School bus drivers need a separate S (school bus) endorsement to operate these vehicles. You can also add an N or tanker (tank vehicle) CDL endorsement to your driving license to transport materials in liquid and gaseous forms, like oil and gas dairy and beverages waste management, as well as agriculture.

To ensure that you are investing time and money wisely, it is best to determine the endorsements that your prospective employer needs or prefers. This will provide you with an idea of what credentials to obtain prior to beginning your driving career and minimize the chance of spending money on unnecessary endorsements. Many companies reimburse drivers for the costs of getting CDL endorsements. This is an excellent way to begin your journey as a driver. Combination Endorsements The right endorsements permit drivers to drive cars they otherwise wouldn't be able. This allows them to expand their options and present themselves as the most polished resource in the job market. Schneider suggests that drivers speak to industry professionals and career counselors to better be aware of the types of endorsements that may be most beneficial for their preferred career path. The T combination endorsement, for example, allows CDL Class B and A license holders to drive multiple trailers, including double and triple ones. This requires advanced driving skills and an understanding of how trailers move with respect to each the other. They are at a greater risk of risk of jackknifing or overturning compared to single-trailer truck. In the same way, the X endorsement gives Class A and B CDL holders the ability to haul HazMat freight using tanker trucks. Trailer Endorsements People who transport passengers for a living are required to obtain their Regular (Class D) driver license enhanced by the For-Hire (F) endorsement. Taxi drivers and shuttle service operators couriers delivery services (flowers or pizza) and ambulance drivers are just a few examples of drivers that require this endorsement. Certain employees who work on commissions or for their own companies and don't transport people or property as part of their job (such as plumbers and meter readers Realtors) might also require the For-Hire Endorsement. The “T” endorsement allows CDL holders to operate vehicles with double and triple trailers. Schneider does not reimburse drivers who obtain this endorsement. The “X” endorsement permits Class A and B CDL holders to haul HazMat freight on a tanker. This combination of endorsements could be called a “combo”, or an “all hazards” endorsement.
