Sources and what we verified
FMCSA: endorsements and test requirements ↗FMCSA ELDT: S, P, H first time ↗What we verified: Endorsement letters and test types come from FMCSA's drivers page. State fee pages (California DMV, Texas DPS, Florida FLHSMV) refused to load today, so no named state fee is listed.
Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
