What tests are necessary to renew a Commercial Driver License (CDL)?
 
Answer:

If you currently have a hazardous materials endorsement, federal rules require you to take the hazardous materials written test every time you renew the endorsement.

You must present a Federal Security Threat Assessment to renew a CDL with a hazardous materials endorsement. 

A vision test must be passed. No other CDL written tests are required unless you want to upgrade the group designator, remove an air brake restriction, or add a new endorsement when renewing your license.
