Depnds on what state you live in, but in Texas it is not a big deal.
You have to take the hazmat test at the DL office, pass it, they give you the forms to fill out and then go to a third party collection site.
It took about 10 minutes to fill out the forms and 15 minutes to have fingerprints done. Then about 3-4 weeks for the license to come in.
Don't scare guys off from getting the endoresment.
The extra cost of the fingerprints and background is $92 bucks in Texas, I think it is worth paying $92 to make 50K plus a year.
