    There’s a page on the hazmat site that will tell you exactly. Many felonies go off the list after a few years, others in the terrorist category will forever block your hazmat.

    More than likely; you're qualified for hazmat.

    See Parts A, B and C below for information on disqualifying criminal offenses. In addition to the disqualifying criminal offenses listed below, TSA may determine that an applicant is not eligible for the application program based on analyses of the following:
    a) Interpol and other international information, as appropriate.
    b) Terrorist watchlists, other government databases and related information.
    c) Any other information relevant to determining applicant eligibility or an applicant’s identity.
    TSA may also determine that an applicant is not eligible if the security threat assessment process reveals extensive foreign or domestic criminal convictions, a conviction for a serious crime not listed in Part A or B below (including some lesser included offenses of serious crimes; e.g. murder/voluntary manslaughter), or a period of foreign or domestic imprisonment that exceeds 365 consecutive days.

    Interesting.. Burglary not a disqualifier. Most ppl think any and all felonies disqualify one from delivering hazmat loads but that is not the case.

    It may not disqualify him from getting the endorsement, but burglary sounds a lot like theft, and that's going to narrow his employment options.

    Indeed it will.

    Theft or embezzling etc of any flavor used to be a kiss of death for anyone caught doing so in life. And thus unemployable at any price with any trucking company who must trust a non thief for obvious reasons.
