I have a question on the very first step...lol. The first step asks me what type of endorsement I am seeking H or X. Can anyone tell me the difference? Not sure which one to select?

ok correct me if I'm wrong anyone but on mine I have x which covers tanker and hazmat where as h is just hazmat

You're not wrong.
X covers Tanker, Doubles, and one or two other endorsements where H is specifically Haz/Mat.

Actually, if you want to and pass the written tests, you might be better off with the X endorsement.
It's rather like the Class A License in that WE can drive anything except Motorcycles or Passenger hauling vehicles.
