The U.S. government has judged certain materials hazardous and has an endorsement mechanism in place to ensure public safety (as well as that of the driver and the environment). The endorsement, once obtained, allows you to legally transport hazardous materials. Adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is one of the best ways to expand your job opportunities and boost your earning potential in New York. In the Empire State, chemicals used in manufacturing, petroleum products, industrial solvents, and hazardous waste are just a few of a long list of hazardous materials. Major employers such as Consolidated Edison (New York City), National Grid (Syracuse), and Corning Incorporated (Corning) require drivers with this specialized qualification.
To get the endorsement, you must be at least 21 years old. You must complete all Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements. Once that step is verified, there are two major steps necessary for endorsement. The first is fingerprinting and a background check through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This can take weeks, so start early, get the paperwork submitted, and then use the waiting period to study for the final hurdle: the Hazardous Materials Knowledge Test at the New York DMV. The test covers federal regulations, handling procedures, packaging, placarding, and transport rules (New York CDL Handbook 2025). That is a hefty amount of study material. Furthermore, the multiple-choice test requires a minimum passing score of 80%.

With so much tested material, the process can seem overwhelming; however, our practice tests ensure you pass the official exam on your first attempt. Designed to mirror the official DMV exam, we also give you immediate feedback per response, instead of inundating you with corrections at the end. This method has been shown to speed the learning process and improve retention. Our experts have focused on the material that you may be tested on and have removed the fluff that other resources include. We have multiple New York-specific HazMat practice tests for you. Once you’ve got a handle on this one, try another: https://driving-tests.org/new-york/ny-cdl-hazmat-practice-test/.
