Free Texas CDL HazMat Practice Test 2024

Texas is an enormous state with an equally enormous range of commercial driving needs, so receiving your Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement is one way to ensure that you are qualified to meet a wider range of them. Today, you will be able to take a free practice test which will help you get more prepared for your HazMat endorsement exam. These 30 multiple-choice questions have been written based on the information and important review questions that the writers of the Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Handbook have indicated may be on your real exam. Each question has a hint, to be used if you should need it, and an explanation. We recommend that you read each explanation closely and carefully, as they have been written to provide you with even more information so you can answer future questions that may be worded differently correctly. Return and retake this practice test as often as you need to to achieve a passing score consistently (80% or higher recommended). Good luck today with practice, in the future on the exam, and drive safely!

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