If you are looking to boost your career as a CDL driver in Rhode Island, you’ve come to the right place! Adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement is one of the best ways to increase your job opportunities, recruitment potential, and income. This credential is valuable in the Ocean State, where port access, busy highways like I-95, and big cities like Providence make the transportation of hazardous cargo essential.
Hazardous materials transported in Rhode Island include petroleum products, propane and other compressed gasses, industrial chemicals, medical waste, biohazards, and solvents/paints used in manufacturing and construction. Major organizations that depend on Hazmat-certified drivers include Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (Johnston), General Electric Company (Woonsocket), Toray Plastics (North Kingstown), FM Global (Johnston), and Electric Boat (Quonset Point, North Kingstown). That’s a lot of industrial demand and a lot of great employers actively seeking HazMat-endorsed drivers!
Because of the risks involved, the U.S. government has declared certain items hazardous and has developed a stringent process for driver endorsement. You’ll first need to ensure all Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements are fulfilled. Next, you’ll need to complete a TSA fingerprinting and background check (a process that can take weeks). We encourage you to get this process underway and then use the waiting period to prepare for the final step: the DMV HazMat Knowledge Test. This test covers federal regulations, hazardous material handling, packaging rules, quantity limits, and approved transport configurations. A minimum score of 80% is required to pass this exam, which consists of 30 questions Rhode Island CDL Handbook 2026.
