North Carolina’s diverse geography—from Appalachian mountain passes to coastal flood zones—demands skilled HazMat drivers. The state’s energy, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors create consistent demand for drivers who can safely transport hazardous materials along I-40, I-85, and I-95.

What the H endorsement allows: You can transport materials classified as hazardous by the U.S. Department of Transportation, including explosives, flammable liquids, compressed gases, corrosives, poisons, and radioactive materials. Without this endorsement, you cannot legally haul any placarded hazardous cargo in North Carolina.

North Carolina employers hiring HazMat-endorsed drivers:

  • Energy: Duke Energy (Charlotte), Piedmont Natural Gas
  • Agriculture: Syngenta (Greensboro), BASF, agricultural chemical distributors
  • Waste management: Clean Harbors (statewide), Republic Services
  • Fuel distribution: Colonial Pipeline terminals, regional fuel haulers

Helped me out big time!
I strongly feel that your company has successfully helped me out big time, to become a professional truck driver in today’s industry! I greatly appreciate all of the necessarily helpful tools that your company has to provide us, so we can have a stronger understanding to know the dangers and importance of each placards “diamond shapes”. I love how we get practice tests (5 or so) and real life exam tests (3 or so) so we can have a higher percentage rate, once we go to the DMV. I had time to study my Doubles and Triples while I was waiting for my number at the DMV. Anyway, Thank YOU 🙏🏼 ever Soooo much for having an amazing ELDT in your company for Hazmat and Tanker! 🙌🏽 ❤️
