If a driver is hauling enough of those types of products, it is considered a hazardous load, so the driver must have their Haz-Mat endorsement.

Approximately 25-30 minutes if you have all of the information you need in front of you. Please refer to question #1 to make sure you are fully prepared to complete the application.
