HAZMAT And HighRoad?
Topic 22371 | Page 1
You can count me as one of those. It makes it easy peasy!
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I studied the High Road exclusively and aced the NY hazmat exam
HAZMAT:
Hazardous Materials
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations
Awesome.. thanks guys. I went through it the other day and did well, but my other half kept dismissing the idea that if that's what I studied, I'd be prepared. So phooey on him lol. I go for my fingerprints next Monday and will keep repeating that module until I get the authorization to test.
That's all I used to study for everything.
I'm planning on using it when I start CDL school, since I can't get it before I have my CDL apparently. I should do it now but I'm just reviewing everything needed to get my permit atm. Passing all the practice exams I can find online right now, so I feel confident.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
A bit late to the party here, but I too used High Road’s HAZMAT training exclusively, passing the HAZMAT tests in Montana and Texas.

Okay so I got my fingerprints done a couple weeks ago and received my approval to test when I got home Wednesday night.. so this morning I added all endorsements to my CDL. The questions didn't quite line up with Kentucky on the HAZMAT , but was able to figure it out and pass. My exam wanted you to know the class numbers... 1.1, 1.2, 1 3, and 8 primarily. There were also several questions regarding multiple compressed gas cylinders and how they're to be secured if not in racks. It was pretty much common sense, I thought, but then in my previous healthcare field I dealt with compressed gas cylinders frequently.
Anywho.. like Pokemon.. I got em all. Thanks Brett for having the endorsement info built into the High Road.

So how many drivers here have used the High Road exclusively to prepare for your HAZMAT endorsement? Also, anyone from Kentucky?
Just curious. I know it's great for everything else and see no reason why it couldn't be used exclusively, but double checking.
