Haz-Mat endorsement process?

you make an appointment to get finger print/background done about a month later you get a letter in the mail saying your not a terrorist take it to dmv take test

 

Yes, you just need to go to the CDL testing site in your area and take the haz-mat endorsement test then once you pass that then you are started in the process, you'll need to do the fingerprinting and threat assessment part after that, it takes about 30-45 days to get that approved and another 10 days or so to get a copy in the mail.

 

If you go pass the Hazmat test you have started the PROCESS..

 

Most companies understand the process. Depending on the company they may or may not want you. Some, the better ones, will take you if you are a good candidate . Then they will notify their dispatchers who, knowing you dont have hazmat yet, will dispatch you on only non-hazmat loads. But if you dont get it within areasonable time, like 90 days (as this is usually the trial period before you become perminent). Actually go for it, all they can do is turn you down.
