Got My Hazmat Endorsement Today
Topic 1917 | Page 1
Great job Danny! I just got all my endorsements on tuesday myself. I hear you on the wording of the questions also. I got hung up on a couple of different ones. But hey like you said we passed. Also I look forward to hearing what you think about H.O.W. to because they're one of the options i'm looking into when I get my CDL in January. Keep up the good work!

TT On Facebook
Went to DDS today and took my Hazmat Endorsement Test. I passed it but was a little disappointed that I just passed. I have read over the High Road CDL Training numerous times and taken all the practice test here on Trucking Truth and I also did another sites practice test several times. But the questions that I missed were asked in a different way that caught me off guard. But I guess the important thing is that I did pass. I now have all my endorsements just got to finish up CDL School and get my class A then off to Orientation in January to H O Wolding in Amherst Wisconsin.
