There have been some changes to Haz Mat regulations in the last couple of years. Try to find out if your state is still testing to the old regs or the new updated. I just had to retake mine this summer and my state still had the old questions. If you were studying the most recent haz mat regs you may have got mixed up. A couple things that have changed: You no longer have to do an inroute tire check every 2 hours or 100 miles, it's now only when you stop (park); The way the hazmat material is written on the BOL has changed to UNcode, Proper Shipping name, Hazard Class, and Packing group. Im sure there are more but thats all I an think of off the top of my head. It seemed like about half the questions were about explosives which I dont deal with, but it was all common sense.

I noticed this with the practice tests on this site. My IN state book has the BOL as proper name first. I'm going to go in and talk to them to make sure what I'll be tested on. Thanks for pointing this out.
