"X-Rated" - nice! I was wondering what that subject was going to lead to.....good one!
For those who aren't familiar yet, when you get your tanker endorsement and your Hazmat endorsement they mark it as an "X" on your CDL. That's why he's "X-rated"........
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations

Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.

Added hazmat and tankers to my endorsements over the weekend. Now I'm X-Rated!
Tomorrow, I begin the weeklong 44 hour refresher course at a respected private truck driving school. The course consists of mainly backing and some road work. There is only one day of classroom that covers logging and HOS.
Then it's orientation at Swift on June 8th in Columbus..
