Where to study for Haz-mat

The first time I took it in Colorado is was a paper test. I missed one too many and the clerk reviewed the test with me and left the answer key right in my field of view. The second time I tested it was by a computer. Those are the easiest, if you don't know the question for sure skip it and come back to it. If you meet the minimum number correct the test will end

Just a note for next time, the DMV will know long before you get the letter

 

####, my hazmat expires 11/2022. When I renew, will I have to take this stupid class?

 

I just got a copy of my state CDL manual and memorized the answers to the questions in the hazmat section. i forget 95 percent of it as soon as i walk out the building -

 

Pretty sure it's just for newbies. Anyone wanting a CDL will have to attend school.

 

This is the first time I've had a hazmat endorsement, so I have never been through the renewal process.

The language of Hazmat renewal for Texas is vague: TxDPS - Hazardous Materials Endorsement

I was operating under the assumption I was going to have to go through the whole process (test and background) all over. This might include whatever new class is being proposed. Current rules don't mention the class, so I guess I'll have to check back in 2 years.

If I have to take a class, I will probably let it drop off since the endorsement isn't required for my current employer and my previous employer had me run so few hazmat loads that I probably never recouped the cost it took me to get the endorsement.

 

Some states require HazMat process to begin in the DMV office. Take the computer test, then go do fingerprints, then wait for TSA approval, then return to DMV for picture & application.

Other states require you to do fingerprints, wait for TSA approval, then arrive at DMV with TSA letter, take test, take picture and fill applicaton.

I also recommend you find your state's online CDL manual. And read through the HazMat section. I always find new questions on the actual DMV test that were not in any of the online practice tests.
