Why Idaho 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 Idaho 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 Idaho

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

Hazmat knowledge test at the county office (30 questions, 24 correct); TSA fingerprints and background check before the H is issued. Must be 21.

Who issues it

Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) DMV, through county driver license offices.

Official ITD CDL page ›

Age and permit

Age: 18 for in-state driving (ITD issues a shorter-term CDL to drivers 18 to 21); 21 to cross state lines or haul hazmat.

Permit hold: 14 days, even for CDL holders upgrading.

Will Idaho 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 Idaho

To haul hazardous materials in Idaho, 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 Idaho HAZMAT theory course, you'll need to pass a TSA Security Threat Assessment and the HAZMAT knowledge test at your local Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) 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 Idaho DMV location.

Idaho HAZMAT Endorsement FAQ

Common questions from Idaho CDL holders adding the H endorsement.

Is the ELDT365 HAZMAT course accepted in Idaho?
Yes. ELDT365 is registered on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR). Every Idaho 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 Idaho?
You don't need the CDL in hand to start the theory course, but you'll need a valid Idaho 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 Idaho HAZMAT theory course take?
Most Idaho 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 Idaho 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 Idaho 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 Idaho DMV charges for adding an endorsement to a CDL. Those two fees vary and go directly to the TSA and ID state — not to us.
Can I take the Idaho HAZMAT course on my phone?
Yes. ELDT365 is fully mobile-friendly. Many Idaho 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 Idaho?
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 Boise, Nampa, and Idaho Falls being common HAZMAT routes in Idaho. Actual earnings depend on the carrier, the freight, and your experience level.
