Earning a Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement on your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) allows you to legally transport materials classified as hazardous by the U.S. government, including explosives, specific fuels, industrial chemicals, radioactive materials, and biohazards, to name a few. It is a great way to open a world of new lucrative job opportunities that can level up your career and your wallet! The primary focus of this endorsement process is on maintaining the highest safety standards to protect you and the people and environment in your path.

There are state and federal requirements to be met before you can have this endorsement added to your CDL. First, you’ll need to pass a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) fingerprinting and background check. Then there is the DMV knowledge test which covers a host of necessary topics. West Virginia’s knowledge test is made up of 30 questions and must be passed with a score of at least 80% (24 out of 30 answers must be correct) (West Virginia CDL Handbook 2026). The minimum age for the Hazmat endorsement in West Virginia is 21.

About the West Virginia CDL

According to the 2026 West Virginia CDL manual, the Hazmat endorsement not only opens up a wider range of cargo but can also lead to higher pay as employers often recognize the additional certification required! And face it! Without the Hazmat endorsement, you’re closed off from an entire cache of opportunities. In the Mountain State, there are multiple industries with cargo transport that require a Hazmat endorsement, including chemical manufacturing, petroleum and natural gas, and mining and coal processing. This sounds amazing and a little daunting, right? It doesn’t have to be complicated at all.

Our online West Virginia DMV Hazmat Endorsement practice tests are strategically designed to avoid as much of the irrelevant (and plentifully abundant) information you’ll come across. We go straight to the important stuff and mirror the official DMV test. The very first thing to do is apply for your fingerprints and background check. That process can take weeks. You definitely don’t want to do all the studying and taking practice tests only to find you’ve got to wait even more weeks for the TSA response. Study while you wait, get the results, and then head over to the DMV. There you’ll provide the necessary documents, pay the fees, and take the test, filled with confidence!
