Behind the wheel test for tanker endorsement?

Sounds like that lady got confused. You only need to a behind the wheel test if you're getting Hazmat, School bus or passenger. Says nothing about tanker.
Important Changes to CDL Training Effective 2022

You may want to check to make sure your state doesn't have any extra requirements too.

 

OK, I already have Tanker and Doubles endorsements. Wanted to get Hazmat out of GP and just haven't gotten the needed roundtuit yet.
So, does the new laws mean I can no longer just go take the test and get fingerprinted for the background check? Do I now have to go to some certified training and take an additional road test to add the H endorsement?

 

Why drop the passenger endorsement?
You don't want it now sure, but what if a killer job shows up in 1,5 or 10 years. Never drop an endorsement that is any harder than a paper test to get back.

 

Tanker does not require a driving test when added after you get your CDL. However, in Texas, when I got my permit they let me take the tanker test and that endorsement got added to my CLP. I later found out they weren't supposed to let me do that, because if you have the tanker endorsement on the CLP, they said I had to take the skills test with a tanker. They had to remove the tanker endorsement before I took the skills test. After I passed and got my paper CDL, I had to go back in and pay to have the tanker endorsement added back on.

 

With the new rules, adding Hazmat just requires a "classroom" training before taking the written test, not another driving test. I've already seen providers offering an online ELDT approved Hazmat course for about $70.
