Adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) immediately opens the door to more job opportunities and a potential increase in earnings. In any business, positively setting yourself apart from the competition is the smart thing to do. The Hazmat endorsement certifies drivers to handle materials deemed hazardous by the U.S. government, covering items like explosives, certain types of fuel, industrial chemicals, radioactive materials, and infectious substances. The main purpose of this endorsement process is to prioritize safety, yours as well as that of the people and environment in your driving area.
To earn the Hazmat endorsement in District of Columbia, you must first pass a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) fingerprinting and background check before taking the DMV knowledge test. Note the word, “before.” This means that you shouldn’t wait to perform that task. Do it now and use the waiting period to study and practice for the test. The 30-question test, which must be passed with a minimum score of 80% or 24 out of 30 questions, covers federal regulations, substance handling, material packaging, quantity limits, and transport configurations for hazardous materials (District of Columbia CDL Handbook). Also, it’s important to note that the Hazmat endorsement in District of Columbia is only available to drivers aged 21 and older.
Consider the potential increase in opportunities and pay with this endorsement. According to the 2024 District of Columbia CDL manual, with the Hazmat endorsement you can haul a broader variety of cargo and are immediately more marketable to employers. In District of Columbia, there are multiple industries with cargo transport that require a Hazmat endorsement, including chemical manufacturing (Dow Chemicals has offices in DC), petroleum, and medical and pharmaceutical (MedStar has multiple health centers in the District of Columbia requiring hazmat transport. An impressive list of new opportunities, right? Take a look at what we’ve done to simplify your process!
