Nebraska is responsible for many important products in the US, from corn to natural gas to veterinary vaccines, many of which would have difficulty leaving the state and reaching their destinations without Nevada’s commercial drivers. Due to Nebraska’s exports often including sensitive materials like the previously mentioned gas and medications, a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement can help a commercial driver have a more fulfilling career, carrying more loads. This practice test is an important step toward preparing for your HazMat endorsement exam, and consists of 30 questions based on information directly from the Nebraska Manual for Commercial Driver’s Licensing. Feel free to keep visiting, and to practice as often as necessary until you feel confident in your ability to get a passing score on your real HazMat exam (80% or higher is recommended). To fully prepare for your upcoming exam, make sure you read each question’s explanation on this practice test, as the explanations have been carefully written to give you a broader understanding of each subject that will help you answer future questions correctly. We wish you the best of luck as you study and practice, and with your future HazMat endorsement!
