Free Kentucky CDL HazMat Endorsement Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
  • Based on 2025 KY commercial driver's license manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for October 2025

Whether driving through the steep and winding roads of the Appalachian Mountains in eastern Kentucky, the rolling hills in the central Bluegrass region, or the many bridge routes along the river crossings by the Ohio River, you are probably already aware of the vast array of beauty in Kentucky. You must be interested in adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). You’ve made a great decision to pursue this added endorsement as it will increase your recruitment potential and can result in higher pay!

Because the Hazmat endorsement permits the transport of materials that the U.S. government has deemed hazardous, the process contains several hurdles to ensure safety. The first major hurdle is passing a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) fingerprinting and background check. Because the results from the TSA can take weeks to arrive, you’ll want to take care of submitting these and then study and practice for the second major requirement: passing the KSP knowledge test. The knowledge test addresses topics like federal regulations, substance handling, material packaging, quantity limits, and transport configurations for hazardous materials. You’ll need a score of 80% on Kentucky’s knowledge test (Kentucky CDL Handbook 2025).

If this process sounds a little overwhelming, relax. We have streamlined this process by creating practice tests that mimic what you will face at the official KSP test site. Additionally, our online Kentucky KSP Hazmat Endorsement practice tests are designed to avoid all the extra unneeded information you’ll find online. And what’s more, if you get a practice question wrong, you’ll immediately receive feedback on why another response is better. This is a much better way to learn the materials versus having the feedback provided at the end of the assessment.

There are multiple industries in Kentucky that require a Hazmat endorsement, including coal and coal by-products, agricultural chemicals, fuel, and industrial chemicals. Some of the major companies in Kentucky requiring Hazmat-endorsed drivers include Dow Chemical (Carrollton), Toyota Motor Manufacturing (Georgetown), and Marathon Petroleum (Catlettsburg), as well as biotechnology and agricultural producers.

There are simply too many great opportunities ripe for the taking. Once you receive your TSA results and feel prepared, you’ll visit the KSP with the necessary documents, pay the fees, and confidently take the test.
