    I live in AZ. I chose to not renew my Hazmat. I knew it could possibly cancel my cdl. I was okay with that. I don't plan to use it in the next few years.
    I got a notice in the mail that they canceled both my cdl and my regular license. I had to go in and get a new license which wasn't a big deal, but I can imagine that this would be a HUGE inconvenience for anyone actively working. Pay attention to that haz mat date. Start the process months before the expiration. Don't let those endorsements lapse.

    Az cancelled both my cdl and my regular license. I downgraded because I'm not using my cdl. I was able to replace my regular license without the cdl, but what a pain for someone working in the field.

    Somewhere out West, in my mind.

    To get rid of a HazMat endorsement YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DMV AND EXCHANGE YOUR CURRENT CDL FOR A CDL WITHOUT HAZMAT. Waiting for HazMat to expire will just cancel your CDL, and possibly your whole driver license.

    It doesn't have to make sense, it's trucking.

    When my Hazmat expires I will go in and change it to a regular CDL. Even though I may not ever need that CDL again, I wouldn't want to have to start at square one and do all of the retesting just to get it back.

    My license didn't get revoked when my haz expired. It only got suspended. I renewed fingerprints which was all i needed (another story) and I was golden again.

    2 years later I renewed my license and dropped haz.
