California is a HazMat powerhouse. With major corridors like I-5, I-10, I-15, and US-101 connecting ports, refineries, and distribution centers, HazMat-certified drivers are in constant demand. Without this endorsement, you cannot legally transport explosives, fuels, industrial chemicals, radioactive materials, or infectious substances—locking yourself out of thousands of specialized, higher-paying jobs.
Age exception for California: Drivers 18-20 years old can obtain the HazMat endorsement, but federal law restricts them to intrastate (within California) transport only. Interstate HazMat transport requires age 21+.
Top California employers requiring HazMat drivers:
- Petroleum & Energy: Chevron (headquartered in San Ramon), Valero, Phillips 66
- Pharmaceuticals: Amgen Inc. (Thousand Oaks), Gilead Sciences (Foster City)
- Chemical manufacturing: Air Products, Linde, numerous ag-chem distributors
- Ports & logistics: LA/Long Beach port carriers, Central Valley ag transport
What to expect on the official California HazMat test:
- Questions: 30 multiple-choice
- Passing score: 80% (24 correct answers required)
- TSA background check: Mandatory—apply immediately (takes 2-4 weeks)
- Topics covered: Federal regulations, substance handling, packaging, quantity limits, transport configurations
How to get your HazMat endorsement:
- Apply for TSA fingerprinting now — results take weeks, so don’t wait
- Study while you wait using our practice tests and the official CDL manual (California CDL Handbook 2025)
- Pass the DMV knowledge test (80% required)
- Visit DMV with documents and fees to receive your endorsement
Our California HazMat practice tests mirror the official DMV exam format. 30 questions with instant feedback — no fluff, just what you need to pass on your first attempt.
