Difference between H and X hazmat endorsements?
-
First time getting hazmat, and I have to choose between H and X. Is it true that H is the standard hazmat and X is for tanker hazmat?
I already have a tanker endorsement, but the job I'm doing this for is dry van. Should I apply for the H or the X? I wouldn't mind having the the "extra" endorsement, but is the process more complicated?
