Commercial drivers can do much more with their CDL license by applying for endorsements. As with regular driver’s licenses, CDLs offer a range of classes and endorsements that can increase your employment opportunities, although different CDL classes and endorsements typically come at a cost. The CDL HAZMAT endorsement is one of the most sought-after endorsements, offering a broader range of employment opportunities and potentially higher compensation.

Three types of CDL classes determine the type of vehicle you may drive and how much you may tow. A Class A CDL allows you to operate a vehicle with a GCWR of 26,001 pounds if the vehicle you tow weighs more than 10,000 pounds, and a Class B CDL will enable you to operate a vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or operate any vehicle towing another vehicle that weighs less than 10,000 pounds. With a Class C CDL, you can operate a Class C vehicle that transports hazardous materials.
