Free South Carolina (SC) CDL Hazardous Materials practice test 2026

H endorsement: placarding, shipping papers and the segregation table.

What’s different in South Carolina

Most Hazardous Materials questions are the same federal material in every state. One question in the app is written for South Carolina alone, from the South Carolina Commercial Driver's License Manual (2025 CDL Testing System, Version March 2025).

A South Carolina question, answer shown

When does a South Carolina CDL with a hazmat endorsement expire?

  1. Eight years from issuance, the same as any other South Carolina CDL
  2. Five years from the date the TSA threat assessment was passed
  3. Two years from the most recent medical examination on file
  4. Four years from issuance, matching the federal hazmat renewal cycle

A standard CDL runs eight years. With a hazmat endorsement it expires five years from the date the security threat assessment was passed, and the endorsement must be acquired again.

A sample question

One example, answer shown. Practicing the rest happens in the app.

Except for bulk packaging, hazard classes listed in Table 2 require placards only when the total amount transported reaches:

  1. 2,205 pounds or more
  2. Any amount at all
  3. 1,001 pounds or more
  4. 500 pounds or more

Table 2 materials need placards once the aggregate gross weight, including packaging, reaches 1,001 pounds. Table 1 materials must be placarded in any amount.
