Transporting cargo through New Hampshire presents plenty of career opportunities, especially when you add the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Alongside the gorgeous views, most pronounced in the tourist-heavy autumn season when the foliage is renowned for its beauty, drivers are challenged throughout the state. The northern White Mountains, the steep and winding highways along I-93, and the narrower routes in the rural areas add challenges to the beauty you experience as a Hazmat driver in New Hampshire, and this endorsement adds marketability and potentially more pay to your career!

“How exactly does this endorsement help me in my career?” The Hazmat endorsement enables drivers to transport materials classified hazardous by the U.S. government. In the Granite State, hazardous materials transported include explosives, flammable liquids, corrosive substances, toxic chemicals, gasses, and radioactive materials. Some prominent organizations in New Hampshire, such as BAE Systems in Nashua (defense and aerospace), Sig Sauer Inc. in Newington (firearms and explosive primers), and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon (biohazardous and radiological substances), rely on drivers with this endorsement.

How to do it: The Hazmat endorsement process is taken very seriously, and several steps are in place to ensure that drivers are properly trained to safely handle these materials. First, you’ll need the mandatory fingerprinting and background check conducted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). While you wait what could be weeks for the results, you should study and practice for the second step: the DMV knowledge test. This test covers federal regulations, substance handling, packaging, quantity limits, and transport configurations for hazardous materials. With a score of 80% on New Hampshire’s 30-question knowledge test, drivers can move closer to unlocking new opportunities (New Hampshire CDL Handbook 2025). That’s where we have your back!

Our New Hampshire DMV Hazmat Endorsement practice tests are designed to avoid unnecessary information and direct your attention to what matters. By streamlining the content to resemble what you will face on the official DMV test and providing immediate feedback on each response instead of waiting until the end for corrections, we create an unparalleled value add to help you prepare. Once you receive your TSA results and feel prepared from all the practice, you’ll visit the DMV with the necessary documents, pay the fees, and pass the test.
