Adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Kentucky Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is one of the smartest moves you can make to expand your job opportunities and increase your earning potential. Employers pay a premium for drivers qualified to transport hazardous cargo, and multiple industries across the state require Hazmat-endorsed drivers!
To earn this endorsement, you must complete all Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements and two further steps. First, pass a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) fingerprinting and background check. Because results can take several weeks, start the background check early. While waiting, prepare for the KSP knowledge test, which requires a minimum score of 80% to pass (Kentucky CDL Handbook 2026). The test is challenging and covers federal regulations, hazardous material handling, packaging, quantity limits, and approved transport configurations.
