Why did I create the Metal Coil Endorsement website?
This website is the result of years of work by one person collecting information on the acquiring of the NYS Metal Coil Endorsement. Along the way I have changed the way I have presented information, and adjusted the formatting to reflect the strengths of each new website. I continue to find conflicting info while expanding it. This endorsement is one of, if not the hardest of the NYS endorsements to obtain.
Why do I say that?
I started reading the NYS Driver's Manual for the Safe Securement of Metal Coils and Other Cargo Download MV-79 and found it to be very lacking in the information to successfully pass the exam. My first attempt at passing it was in December of 2008 while I was a student at the Professional Driver Institute.
NOTE: this site is very much still a work in progress, and is
bound to have a few errors - please pay attention to the
citations given when evaluating the quality and accuracy of this
data. Your help in finding, reporting and fixing any errors is
appreciated.
I hope you enjoy the information I have collected and presented
on these pages. Please contact me via
email with any corrections and additional data (I'm
sure there are plenty!) I continue to expand and evolve this
site on a very regular basis.
A practice test for the Metal Coil Endorsement section is in development right now. This is a labor intensive process and if there are any developers out there that would like to help out and get credit on this website please contact me at the email address above. I want the Metal Coil Endorsement practice exams to be the best study guide out there.
When
I was a driving instructor for the Professional Driver Institute
I was
just one person who has heard America’s call to end the
dangerous practice of distracted driving on our nation’s
roadways.
Distracted driving is a very serious,
life-threatening practice and I will not rest until we stop it.
I am just one of many that are leading the effort but you are
the key to preventing distracted driving.
The message is simple – Put it down!
