Hazmat Dilemma
Topic 13499 | Page 2
Just be glad the supervisor cared enough to save you thar renewal fee you would have had to pay had you waited.
I showed up at GA DDS bright & early today. First I was told that I couldn't take Hazmat cause I just have a CDL permit. She asked her supervisor who told her how to "trick the computer system" so I could test. That's what I'm talking about.
Took the test & passed it!!! It won't show up on my CDL till i (hopefully) get a permanent one. I also won't pay the testing fee till then. Don't know how other states are, but In GA you keep a paper CDL permit till u pass the driving test.
Thanks everyone for the great advice. My questions have only just begun. I start trucking school Mon.
My next stop is $1 short stack pancakes from IHOP for St. Patrick's Day. Just have to wear green
Take care everyone.

What I read from that is who taught you to cheat us out of another cdl renewal liscence fee when you would if you had waited had to pay another fee to get your cdl hazmat endorsement added to your current cdl.
Steven:
From what I understood, I will have to pay the fee when I go back to get my permanent CDL. I was trying to pay now, cause I didn't want my results to cancel out & I have to retake the test lol.

Yep good luck Karen, you paid might as well finish...Good luck in school as well ! you got this ...DMV window people aren't the all-and-knowing they lie to think they are! Had traded cars years ago, no cash. They tried to charge me sales tax on value of the trade. I said (politely) ain't no way I'm paying 'double' taxes, when I paid them buying my original car! Supervisor came over and agreed with me, saved me 100s ! lol
