Free Indiana HazMat (H) Endorsement Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

Indiana sits at the crossroads of America—and HazMat drivers keep freight moving. Indianapolis is one of the nation’s largest logistics hubs, with I-65, I-70, and I-69 intersecting in the state. The concentration of manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and refining operations creates strong demand for drivers with hazardous materials endorsements.

What the H endorsement allows: You can transport materials classified as hazardous by the U.S. Department of Transportation, including petroleum products, industrial chemicals, compressed gases, fertilizers, and hazardous waste. Without this endorsement, you cannot legally haul any placarded hazardous cargo in Indiana.

Indiana employers hiring HazMat-endorsed drivers:

  • Manufacturing: Cummins Inc. (Columbus), ArcelorMittal (East Chicago), steel and auto parts suppliers
  • Pharmaceuticals: Eli Lilly (Indianapolis), biotech chemical transport
  • Energy: BP Whiting Refinery (one of largest Midwest refineries), Indiana Michigan Power
  • Agriculture: Fertilizer distributors, ethanol plants, grain processing facilities

TSA background check—start here first:

  • Required: Fingerprinting and FBI background check through TSA
  • Timeline: 2-4 weeks for results—start before studying
  • Cost: ~$86.50 (TSA fee)
  • Valid: 5 years before renewal required

What to expect on the official Indiana HazMat test:

  • Questions: 30 multiple-choice
  • Passing score: 80% (24 correct)
  • Topics covered: Hazard classes, placarding, shipping papers, loading/unloading, emergency response, containment rules
  • Administered by: Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV)

Without an H endorsement: Transporting placarded hazardous materials without proper endorsement results in federal violations, fines up to $75,000, CDL disqualification, and potential criminal charges depending on cargo.

Indiana’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles administers CDL testing at BMV branches statewide. Study the official 2025 CDL manual (Indiana CDL Handbook 2025) to understand all requirements.

Why our practice tests work:

  • 30 questions closely resembling the official BMV exam
  • Instant feedback with detailed explanations after every question
  • No timer—learn at your own pace
  • Unlimited attempts to build confidence before test day

Easy to follow and to learn.
It also helps I’m a fast learner, I took the test one day after studying the hazmat material and passed with ease. For those who can learn by making educated guesses and being told what the correct answer is after, this is a great source to attain endorsements.

I give driving-tests.org a 5 star.
They were more than helpful in getting me to pass my eldt class. In fact I passed their class and took the hazmat test at the dmv the next day and didn’t miss a single question! Also I went camping and wasn’t able to do my class the first time so they reinstated my week long course free of charge.
