This Is What a Page Actually Looks Like

Not the manual chapter you already closed once. Tap any page to read it full size.

The real problem

The Hazmat Chapter Was Written
By Lawyers, For Lawyers

You opened section 9 of your state manual, read four pages about shipper responsibilities and closed it. That is not a discipline problem. It is forty pages of regulation prose with two tables buried in the middle of it.

And the test does not ask you to recite regulations. It asks you where you are in the trip and what applies right there: at the dock, loading, placarding, on the road, parked, at the scene of a leak.

So that is how this book is laid out. Nine classes you can see. One decision diagram for the placards. One page per rule, in the order you meet it between the shipper's door and the delivery.

The rules did not get easier.
They got drawn.

The difference

Forty Pages of Prose vs. Thirty-Six You Can See

Section 9 of the manual

  • Regulation prose, no drawings, no order
  • Two placard tables printed as raw tables
  • Nine classes described in words you have to picture yourself
  • Nothing tells you which rule applies when

This book

  • The same rules, drawn, one idea per page
  • The placard decision as a single diagram you can print
  • The nine classes with their diamond, colour and symbol
  • Laid out in the order of the trip, dock to delivery

What is inside the book

Six Parts, From the Dock to the Delivery

I
4 pages

The H, the check, and who does what

What the endorsement is worth, the fingerprints and the TSA check, and the three people the regulations talk about: shipper, carrier, driver.

II
5 pages

The nine hazard classes

Drawn one by one with their diamond, their colour and their symbol. Nine shapes you recognise instead of nine definitions you recite.

III
4 pages

The paperwork

The shipping paper and its three names, where it has to be while you drive, the UN and NA numbers, and the Emergency Response Guidebook.

IV
5 pages

Placards, and when you need them

Table 1, table 2, the 1,001 pound line and the DANGEROUS placard. The part of the test that is really one decision, made three times.

V
10 pages

Loading, driving and parking

What cannot travel together, cargo heaters, attending a tank, railroad crossings, parking with explosives and the routes you cannot take.

VI
8 pages

Emergencies, the numbers and the self-test

Your three jobs at the scene, CHEMTREC, a leak of poison gas — then every figure on one sheet and a blank page to test yourself.

How you use it

One Week From Today to Test Day

You do not have to do it this way. But the written test is eight days of reading if you have a plan, and three weeks of avoiding it if you do not.

Days
1-2

Learn the nine classes

Part II. Nine diamonds, nine colours, nine symbols. After this the regulations stop being words and start being shapes.

Days
3-4

The paper that speaks for you

The shipping paper, the ID number and the guidebook. Where it goes and why it has to be within reach when you are behind the wheel.

Day
5

The placard decision

Table 1, then the weight, then how many classes. Run the diagram from the bonus book until you can do it without looking.

Days
6-7

The road with a placarded load

Segregation, heaters, tanks, crossings, parking and routes. Most questions are really «at this moment of the trip, what applies?»

Day
8

Say the numbers out loud

Print the sheet with every figure on it, cover the right column and say them. If you can do that, you are ready for the written test.

Is this for you

Who This Was Drawn For

You already drive and you want the raise

You have the CDL and the miles. Hazmat is the endorsement that opens fuel, chemical and tank work, and the reason you do not have it yet is that section 9 is unreadable.

You are in school and adding endorsements

Hazmat and tanker are usually taken on the same day as the other written tests. Walk in with the nine classes already in your head instead of cramming them the night before.

English is not your first language

Every class, every placard and every piece of paper is drawn next to its name, so you learn the word and the thing at the same time instead of translating a regulation.

How this book was made

Every Number Checked Against Five State Handbooks

Not a blog, not a practice app: the official manuals the test is written from, in California, Texas, Florida, New York and Ohio. Each figure was looked up, one by one, before the page was drawn.

Hazmat is the part of the CDL that travels best, because the rules are federal and the five manuals print the same text. The 1,001 pound line, the twenty-five feet you keep a placarded truck from an open fire, the thirty days CHEMTREC keeps your call on file — those are the same in every state, and that is why they could be printed as the answer.

Where something is not federal — the routes your state closes to placarded loads, the permits it asks for — the page says so and leaves you a space instead of inventing a number.

Your examiner's score sheet always wins.
The book says so on page three.

Questions

Before You Decide

Does this book get me the endorsement?

It gets you through the written test, which is one of two things you need. The other is a TSA security threat assessment: fingerprints, a background check and a fee you pay to your state, and it takes weeks. No book can do that part for you. Page four explains exactly how it works and in what order to do the two things, so you do not lose a month waiting.

Is hazmat worth it?

That is your call, not ours. What is true is that hazmat is the endorsement that most often comes with a higher rate per mile, because fewer drivers have it and because tank and fuel work is closed to you without it. It is also the one with the extra paperwork, which is precisely why fewer drivers have it.

Does it cover the tanker test too?

Yes, that is bonus 1. Hazmat is the H endorsement and tanker is the N; hold both and you get the X, which is what most fuel and chemical jobs ask for. The two tests are usually taken on the same day.

I am in a different state. Does it still work?

Yes, and hazmat travels better than any other part of the CDL: the hazardous materials rules are federal, the same text in every state manual. Every figure in this book was still checked against the official handbooks of five states, one by one, before the page was drawn. Your examiner's score sheet always wins, and the book says so.

How do I get it?

By email, straight after you buy. Three PDFs you can read on your phone at the dock or print and take with you.

Can I print it?

Yes, as many times as you want, for yourself. The placard decision and the nine class cards are made to be printed and kept in the cab.

Is this a course?

No. It does not give you a licence, an endorsement or a certificate, and it does not replace your training provider or your state's examiner. It is study material.

One Last Thing

Hazmat is the endorsement that pays, and it is the one fewest drivers bother to get.

Not because the test is hard. Because the chapter is unreadable, and nobody ever drew it.

Nine classes.
One paper. Four placards.
