Wow we need to let our uncle in on this. He currently has his hazmat but when he comes to work for us we are not planning on getting hazmat insurance so guessing his will lasp. So he actually needs to tell license branch to take it off his his license won’t be suspended.

So.....it would appear that it is "hazardous" to lose your hazmat rating?

Consider it a blessing, my friend. I never had HazMat, mostly because I kept failing the test, so I told them to K my A, and just refused the loads that were HazMat. It didn't pay any better, and the test was a hassle. This industry is for the $#its today, I strongly suggest you do something else. You know, just as an example of other things to do, cannabis products are a BILLION dollar/year industry today, with no stupid tests, you don't have to use it. What the heck are you guys putting up with this crap for? No wonder they can't find drivers,,

Hazmat is more annoying im sure, but with the new regulation, itll be less hassle for him to keep his endorsement than having him remove it if he ever wants it backCAXPT Thanks this. -

One of the problems with Hazmat is it is a Federal thing, good for exactly 5 years, to the day, from when it was issued. But on most, if not all states, the cdl expires of your birthday, even ifyou were to renew it months ahead of time. I'm in Arkansas now where my cdl is only good for 4 years, so the 5 year hazmat thing doesn't affect me anymore. But when I lived in Texas, which has a 5 year license, I did notice it could be a problem. As the DPS requests, I went it a couple months early to do my background check and fingerprinting. came back in mid August while my CDL expired on my birthday in October. When I got my new license, it didn't expire until 5 years later on my birthday. But on the back it said that the Hazmat endorsement expired in mid August exactly 5 years after the license was issued. I don't know if Texas would have cancelled my license because I moved to Arkansas before it expired.

State of TN is dreadful with both HazMat and Self-Certification of a new DOT Medical Exam/Card. With either item make sure you get written proof that the State of TN has been updated with your renewal of HazMat and/or new DOT Medical Exam/Card. Now, I not only submit the update online. After I submit I call and ask the clerk to verify she has the new info in my file. I carry around that written proof from the State. I have had the state tell me on the phone "we have everything we need" and then get a letter from them 2 weeks later saying "because you have not submitted X ( the thing they told me on the phone they have) you have 10 days to submit it or your license is canceled. -
CAXPT Thanks this.
