What is a HazMat Endorsement?
Hauling hazardous materials is a major responsibility and therefore requires more credentials. In addition to expanding career opportunities, a HazMat endorsement allows drivers to increase their wage potential. Students will gain the knowledge needed to pass the HazMat endorsement test and safely haul different types of hazardous materials.
