About the North Carolina HazMat Test
The HazMat (H) endorsement lets you haul placarded hazardous materials in North Carolina. It's a written test only, but it also requires a TSA Threat Assessment with fingerprinting and a federal background check that can take weeks — plan for that.
PM
From Pedro, behind the wheelI carry the HazMat endorsement, and the test is the easy part — budget weeks for the TSA appointment. On the exam, the placard tables and shipping-paper rules are where it's won or lost.
