    Hey guys, I need to get re-certified within the next 30 days to avoid getting my Hazmat dropped off my license. The DOT sent me a notification the other day. I used to know a website that had free tests on it. Can anyone help me find these sites?

    What do you mean free tests? Re-certification is just a background check. DMV should have a list of the places that do it in your state (area)It's not free unless your employer pays for it.

    I know the test costs 60 bucks I believe. I'm just looking for free websites where you can take practice tests to hone your skills. I used to know one when I got my CDL but I cannot locate it.

    Just google hazmat practice test and a whole bunch of different sites come up. I did mine in Pa also a little over a year ago. Once you pass the test, you take your paperwork to the nearest State Police station and they'll fingerprint you and do the background check. Mine only took a day - I believe I took the test on a Tuesday and picked up my new license Thursday. The whole process was somewhere around $90 in Pa if I remember right..

    Process works alittle different here in michigan. We need to go down to a office for electronic finger prints. Wait 30 days for the FBI/TSA clearance letter then take it to our local dmv office. Take the writen test and wait for our license to come in the mail.

    pretty much the same in California - go to the TSA -affiliated agency, pay just under $100, get fingerprinted, wait 2-3 weeks for results . . .

    If you are doing a Re cert why are you taking the Written again ?
    VA you go get re fingerprinted, they send you a letter from the TSA Approved or Denied, take it to DMV get new DL, wait 5 days and A NEW asghole in plastic comes in the mail.

    I renew mine a few months ago. Take a test and finger print for a back ground check.
