Check endorsements are how the back of the check is signed or stamped.

When you "endorse" the check, you are signing your name to guarantee the item and acknowledge you have accepted it or to state some qualification within the endorsement.

You can qualify the endorsement if you wanted to pay a check over to a third party. In the example, the check is made to you, John Doe and you want to pay it to Sally Blow you would endorse the check, "Pay to the order of Sally Blow" then sign John Doe.

This would be a qualified endorsement.

Other endorsements can state, "Without recourse" which is supposed to mean you accept no responsibility for the item if it bounces, but banks don't honor that as a rule.

You can also endorse, "for deposit only" or include "for deposit only and the account number". This is intended to prevent someone else from depositing it into their account.

Some companies use and endorsement stamp that stamps something like: "For deposit only, Bank of America, 011000111" This is an endorsement as well.

For Deposit Only

Your Company Name

Account Number:

How much is truck license?

It varies by state, and by which endorsements you have on it. You'd have to check the DMV of your state to get a definitive answer on this. My Class A CDL is due for renewal this year, and the base fee just for the licence is going to be $120, and that's before you factor in endorsements and such. Most states I've inquired with are considerably less expensive.
