Free North Carolina CDL HazMat Practice Test 2024 | NC

You have made the decision to broaden your scope as a commercial vehicle driver by studying to receive your Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement, so that you can carry some of North Carolina’s more sensitive, important exports and more dangerous interstate commerce. This endorsement could help you stand out from other drivers and may help your future career success levels. The 30 multiple-choice question practice test you are about to take has been created by our writers based on both information and questions from the HazMat section of the North Carolina Commercial Driver’s Manual that the manual’s writers indicate may be on your real HazMat exam. Take the test as many times as necessary until you achieve a score that makes you feel confident about passing your real HazMat exam the first time (80% or higher recommended). Make sure you use each question’s hint if you need it and read each explanation, as they have been created to provide you with the maximum amount of information quickly so that you can understand the subject matter and answer future questions. We wish you the best of luck studying, and with your future HazMat endorsement!

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