Fuel and chemical hauling pays more than dry van, and it needs more paperwork. You need a Class A licence, a Hazmat endorsement, and a Tanker endorsement — together, hazmat and tanker show on your licence as the X endorsement.

Two of those three require ELDT. Tanker does not, which is why this bundle includes practice questions for it rather than a course you do not need.

No ELDT needed for tanker. The federal rule covers Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, and Hazmat, Passenger and School Bus only. For tanker you just pass the 20-question knowledge test — which is exactly what the practice questions in this bundle are for. Full ELDT requirements →

What You're Actually Facing

Requirement ELDT needed? Test Background check
Class A licence Yes — included 3 permit tests No
Hazmat (H) Yes — included 30 questions TSA, 4–8 weeks
Tanker (N) No 20 questions No
X endorsement — Both above Via hazmat

The X endorsement is not a separate test. Holding both hazmat and tanker is what produces it.

Who This Is For

First-Time Class A Going Into Fuel

Starting from no CDL and already know you want tanker work. This is the whole path in one purchase.

Anyone Told to Get Their X

Employers say “get your X” and drivers assume it is one test. It is two endorsements, and only one of them needs a course.

Drivers Watching the TSA Clock

The hazmat background check takes 4–8 weeks and is the real bottleneck. Finishing hazmat ELDT early lets that clock start while you work on everything else.

How It Works

1
Buy the bundle — all three products unlock immediately
2
Complete Hazmat ELDT first — then book TSA fingerprinting through IdentoGO the same day. That check takes 4–8 weeks and everything else can run alongside it
3
Complete CDL A Theory ELDT — under 2 hours. Submitted to the registry as its own separate entry
4
Pass your permit tests and get your CLP — hold it at least 14 days
5
Take the hazmat and tanker knowledge tests — 30 questions and 20 questions. Use the tanker prep for the second one
6
Complete behind-the-wheel and pass your skills test — once TSA clears you, your X endorsement is issued

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need ELDT for the tanker endorsement?
No. The federal ELDT rule covers Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, and the Hazmat, Passenger and School Bus endorsements only. Tanker is knowledge-test only — 20 questions, no course, nothing reported to the registry. That is why this bundle includes practice questions for it instead.
What is the X endorsement?
It is not a separate test. Holding both hazmat (H) and tanker (N) is what shows as X on your licence. You take the two knowledge tests separately.
How long does the whole path take?
The training is quick — both ELDT courses together are under 4 hours. The bottleneck is the TSA background check for hazmat, which runs 4–8 weeks. Start it the day you finish hazmat ELDT.
Are both ELDT courses reported to the FMCSA?
Yes, as two separate entries, each within 24 hours of finishing that course. Verify at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov.
Can I get a hazmat endorsement with a record?
It depends on the offence. TSA maintains a list of disqualifying crimes, and some are permanent while others have time limits. Full breakdown →
Do I still need behind-the-wheel training?
Yes, for the Class A licence. Behind-the-wheel must be completed separately with a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider. Hazmat and tanker are theory and knowledge-test only.
