Make no mistake, enhancing your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement can broaden your job opportunities significantly and increase your earning potential. The primary goal of this endorsement process is to ensure both your protection and the well-being of the people and environment around you. With this endorsement, you’ll be qualified to haul materials that the U.S. government has deemed hazardous.

In the Sunflower State, securing the Hazmat endorsement involves passing a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) fingerprinting and background check and the DMV knowledge test. Test? Don’t worry. The knowledge test covers federal regulations, substance handling, material packaging, quantity limits, and transport configurations for hazardous materials, which sounds like a lot. However, in just a moment, we’ll show you a great way to prepare efficiently. Kansas’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) (Kansas CDL Handbook 2025). Also, the minimum age for the Hazmat endorsement in Kansas is 21. Sorry new adults!

Now, let’s chat about the increase in income and job availability that can come with the endorsement. The 2025 Kansas CDL manual mentions that the Hazmat endorsement broadens the range of cargo you’re authorized to transport, which may lead to higher pay due to that increase in necessary certification! In Kansas, there are tons of industries that require the endorsement for cargo transport, including chemical manufacturing (Koch Industries is headquartered in Wichita), petroleum and oil, agriculture, and medical and pharmaceutical. Sounds a bit overwhelming but good, right? The great news: it doesn’t have to be overwhelming at all.

Our online Kansas DMV Hazmat Endorsement practice tests are strategically designed to cut through all the irrelevant information you’ll find on the internet and focus on the necessary material that mimics the format and content you will face on the official DMV test. The first thing you should do is apply for your fingerprints and background check information. The results can take weeks so use that time to study with our practice tests. As soon as the results are in and you’re ready to apply, visit the DMV with the necessary documents, fill out the application, pay the fees, and take the test, filled with confidence.
