Why Alaska Drivers Add the HAZMAT Endorsement

+$5K–$15K

Higher Annual Pay

HAZMAT-endorsed drivers typically earn thousands more per year than non-endorsed CDL drivers.

More Loads

Expanded Job Options

Fuel, chemicals, gas cylinders, batteries — HAZMAT opens up freight lanes closed to non-endorsed drivers.

Faster Hiring

Top Priority for Fleets

Carriers in Alaska routinely prioritize HAZMAT-endorsed applicants and pay sign-on bonuses to get them.

Under 3 hrs

Minimal Time Commitment

You can finish the FMCSA theory portion before lunch — and keep your current schedule untouched.

The HAZMAT endorsement order in Alaska

Every state runs the TSA background check and the hazmat knowledge test, but not in the same order. This is Alaska's, from the DMV's own rules.

Hazmat theory from a TPR provider first, then the hazmat knowledge test at the DMV; TSA security threat assessment before the H is issued. Must be 21.

Who issues it

Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Official DMV CDL page ›

Age and permit

Age: 18 for in-state driving; 21 to cross state lines, drive a school bus, or haul hazmat.

Permit hold: 14 days.

Will Alaska accept online hazmat theory? Yes, by federal rule. Federal rule 49 CFR 380.703(i) says that state qualification requirements for theory instruction do not apply to providers offering that instruction only online. So your state accepts theory from any provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, including ELDT365, and no state can require the online theory portion to come from a state-licensed school. States can add their own rules for the behind-the-wheel part, and several do; those are listed below. 49 CFR 380.703(i)

HAZMAT Requirements in Alaska

To haul hazardous materials in Alaska, you need the H endorsement on your CDL. The FMCSA requires all HAZMAT endorsement applicants to first complete theory training from a registered provider — that's where ELDT365 comes in.

After completing our Alaska HAZMAT theory course, you'll need to pass a TSA Security Threat Assessment and the HAZMAT knowledge test at your local Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles office. We handle the FMCSA-required theory portion — Steps 2 and 3 happen through the TSA and DMV.

ELDT365 is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) and fully accepted by every Alaska DMV location.

Alaska HAZMAT Endorsement FAQ

Common questions from Alaska CDL holders adding the H endorsement.

Is the ELDT365 HAZMAT course accepted in Alaska?
Yes. ELDT365 is registered on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR). Every Alaska DMV location accepts completion records submitted through the TPR, and we submit yours automatically the moment you finish.
Do I need a CDL before taking the HAZMAT course in Alaska?
You don't need the CDL in hand to start the theory course, but you'll need a valid Alaska CDL (Class A or Class B) before the DMV can add the H endorsement to your license. Most drivers take the HAZMAT theory training alongside or right after their CDL training.
How long does the Alaska HAZMAT theory course take?
Most Alaska drivers finish the HAZMAT theory in one sitting. The course is self-paced — pause and resume anytime on any device.
What happens after I finish the HAZMAT course?
Your completion is auto-uploaded to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. From there you complete your TSA fingerprint/background check and pass the HAZMAT written test at your local Alaska DMV office. You don't need to bring a paper certificate — the DMV pulls your training record from the federal registry.
How much does the Alaska HAZMAT endorsement cost in total?
ELDT365 covers the FMCSA-required theory training for $20. You'll also pay a TSA background check fee (paid directly to TSA) and whatever Alaska DMV charges for adding an endorsement to a CDL. Those two fees vary and go directly to the TSA and AK state — not to us.
Can I take the Alaska HAZMAT course on my phone?
Yes. ELDT365 is fully mobile-friendly. Many Alaska drivers complete the HAZMAT course on their phone during breaks, layovers, or at home.
How much more will I earn with a HAZMAT endorsement in Alaska?
Most HAZMAT-endorsed drivers earn an extra $5,000–$15,000 per year compared to non-endorsed CDL drivers — with fuel, chemical, and industrial freight lanes running through Anchorage and Fairbanks being common HAZMAT routes in Alaska. Actual earnings depend on the carrier, the freight, and your experience level.
