Unfortunately, we cannot issue any HazMat endorsement until all of our background checks have been completed and are approved. A CDL is provided by the DMV with the necessary HazMat endorsement
Because it takes so long to get the temporary endorsement and due to the fact that I need this temporary HazMat endorsement urgently, is there anything I can do in the meantime?
As I have just mentioned, we are unable to provide you with a temporary HazMat endorsement before background checks are completed
Can New York State deny my application if I have an open suspension in another state?
Yes. With the CDL Permit Rule the NY State can check for open suspensions and revocations in other states and reject any application if it finds open suspensions.
To what applications applies the CDL Permit Rule?
It applies to the CLP and CDL license applications.
What should I do to make sure to receive the notification for when the medical certification status becomes "Not Certified"?
We can send employers the notification of the changes if they subscribe to the NY State License Event Notification Service (LENS).
Can I get the L restriction on my CDL upgraded?
If you do the test in a vehicle with air over hydraulic brakes, your restriction will be upgraded from an L to a Z.
Now tell me about the sanctions for CLP holders.
