Hazmat Endorsement Course for Truck Drivers

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Veteran truck drivers now have the opportunity for classroom lessons by CR England for HAZMAT endorsement.  This is a great opportunity for drivers who may need to use the endorsement in the future.  If you do not have to have the HAZMAT endorsement for your current job, it might be a good idea to take this class for future loads. You never know when you might need a HAZMAT endorsement in your career. Nothing shouts “do it now” like “get in for free”.

Wonder if you are ready to just walk in and take the exam? Few people can pass the exam without a class or some hours studying. We have put together a few cdl jobs related practice questions for a truck driver to have a sense of what is on the HAZMAT exam.   Take a look and see how well you know the answers before taking your state exam. All answers have straightforward solutions:

  1. A vehicle placarded for hazardous materials will have placards on how many sides?
  2. Who is responsible for finding out what permits or special routes you will need to haul hazardous materials?
  3. While doing your normal truck job duties you encounter a traffic accident where one of the vehicles involved was hauling explosives, should you pull them apart?
  4. When you need to stop for railroad tracks, how many feet before the tracks should you stop?
  5. Should you stop before railroad tracks if you are hauling 110 gallons of Chlorine?

How did you do?  We hope these questions helped you in understanding if you would pass the state HAZMAT endorsement test.  The CR England HAZMAT endorsement training is voluntary, but if you are looking for a truck-driving job, it is highly recommended to help you be more prepared for any Trucking Company.  Visit  http://www.CREngland.com to learn more about this course and other courses available to CRE drivers.
