hazmat info

And I would like to add a question: With my CDL being in one state, may I take the Hazmat test/do anything else involved with gaining my Hazmat Endorsement, in another state, or does it all need to be initated and completed in the state where I have my CDL? Thank you

 

The way I did it when I got mine, since it usually takes a bit for the TSA to get its checks done, is I went and got fingerprinted and did the forms first (place to do it is a ways from where I live and only does it 2 days a week). Then I went in and took the written tests (drivers license office here is only open 2 days a week as well). Now, much to my surprise mine was approved as soon as I went in to take the written test. Pry a fluke. But some states vary in how them want this process done, so I would call the driver's license office and ask them before I did anything if you are unsure. I asked the TSA when I called them and they said it shouldn't matter too much, but it does depend on the state.

 

@Twicebit: It has to be done in the state where you got your CDL as far as I know. Also note: if you move to a different state (your permanent address), you will have to retake the hazmat test and the TSA checks, unless I misunderstood something on the rules for this.

 

They need to check with their state DMV for the procedure their because procedures vary by state

 

Thank you, arh3208, knowing this information helps me alot!

 

This is true.....
Plus the state gets more $$$$ main reason for all this BS..............
