CDL Practice Question #253

Category: Hazmat

A hazmat driver must complete which special training?

General awareness, function-specific, safety, security awareness, and in-depth security if a security plan is required
Forklift training
Basic first aid only
Defensive driving only

Correct. PHMSA requires general awareness, function-specific, safety, security awareness, and in-depth security training (when a security plan applies). Carriers document and re-train every three years.

Why this question matters

This question is one of 68 in our Hazmat bank. The reasoning above comes directly from the AAMVA CDL Manual, the source document used by every U.S. state DMV. Memorizing the underlying rule — not just the letter answer — is what separates passing on the first attempt from a return trip and another fee.
