question about getting a hazmat endorsement

I don't think it'll be a problem. My buddy has 2 gun charges and he got his hazmat.

 

Colorado

Part A. Interim Disqualifying Offenses

These crimes are only disqualifying if they are considered felonies in the appropriate jurisdiction, civilian or military. A driver will be disqualified from holding a hazmat endorsement if he or she was convicted* or found not guilty by reason of insanity within the last seven years or was released from prison within the last five years for any of the following crimes:

• Distributions of, possession with intent to distribute, or importation of a controlled substance (State laws vary on the quantity of marijuana required for the offense to be considered a felony. Typically, however, to be convicted of felony marijuana possession, a person must possess a quantity of marijuana greater than an amount considered for "personal use".)
• Conspiracy or attempt to commit any of these crimes

How do i get my hazz matt?? Hv my twic/ screwed up and got that alone should hv done both !! Now what ?? Michigan

 

You can apply online at https://hazprints.tsa.dhs.gov/Public/ and you have to pay by credit card, think it's $86.

Then you look up the address of the nearest fingerprint agent - doesn't matter where your CDL is issued from either. Just show up . They don't take appointments. You'll then you get a letter from TSA in the mail.

While you wait for the TSA letter you should study the CDL manual for your state because next you take a Hazmat test, 20 questions. When you get your letter go to your home-state DMV and take a Hazmat test and pay for the endorsement.

And before you go for fingerprinting comb your hair and look nice - they're going to be secretly recording your facial expressions. The agent will ask you to 'look at this, verify this information is correct' - that's your que to smile

 

the TSA check is more for terrorism than anything else..

 

Yes it may affect you because now in order to hold a hazmat test you must go down to a department of homeland security office and get finger printed and you must attest to any prior felonies you may wanna search the internet for disqualifying things in regards to felonies and hazmats could not find a direct answer

 

really? I got my hazmat and never set foot in a homeland security office.
