Sample Wyoming HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

Your vehicle already contains dry silver cyanide. May cartons of battery acid be loaded in the same cargo space?

  1. A. Yes, if every carton remains upright
  2. B. Yes, if the acid is placed above the cyanide
  3. C. Yes, if the cyanide is covered with a tarp
  4. D. No, because these materials must be kept apart

Correct answer: D. – No, because these materials must be kept apart

Silver cyanide must not be loaded with battery acid in this situation. 49 CFR prohibits loading, storing, or transporting cyanides with acids when a mixture could generate hydrogen cyanide. Changing the stacking order, covering the cyanide, or keeping the cartons upright does not satisfy this segregation requirement.

Question 2

Where is a hazardous material's identification number ordinarily shown for a packaged shipment?

  1. A. Only on the tractor's front and the trailer's rear
  2. B. Only on the vehicle's front, rear, and sides
  3. C. In the shipping description and on the package marking
  4. D. Only on the driver's emergency equipment

Correct answer: C. – In the shipping description and on the package marking

The identification number is part of the basic hazardous-material shipping description and must also appear in the required package marking. Cargo tanks, portable tanks, and other bulk packaging must display the appropriate identification-number markings as required. The Wyoming manual notes that emergency personnel use this number to identify the material quickly.

Question 3

At a railroad grade crossing where a placarded vehicle must stop, how far from the nearest rail should the stop be made?

  1. A. 10 to 20 feet
  2. B. 15 to 20 feet
  3. C. 15 to 50 feet
  4. D. 20 to 50 feet

Correct answer: C. – 15 to 50 feet

49 CFR requires the stop to be made within 50 feet of the tracks but not closer than 15 feet. The driver must look and listen for a train and proceed only when the crossing is safe. This 15-to-50-foot requirement applies to placarded commercial vehicles operating in Wyoming, subject to the regulation's listed crossing exceptions.

Question 4

Where must hazardous-material shipping papers be placed during and after driving?

  1. A. Anywhere inside the cab
  2. B. Visible and within immediate reach or in the driver's-door holder while driving; in that holder or on the driver's seat when unattended
  3. C. Inside the driver's-door holder at all times, with no alternative
  4. D. Inside a locked storage compartment

Correct answer: B. – Visible and within immediate reach or in the driver's-door holder while driving; in that holder or on the driver's seat when unattended

While driving, the hazardous-material shipping paper must be within the driver's immediate reach while restrained by the seat belt and either readily visible or stored in the holder mounted inside the driver's door. When the driver is away from the controls, it must be left in that holder or on the driver's seat. Emergency information must be kept with the shipping paper.

Question 5

Where should a driver look for the emergency-response telephone number provided for a hazardous-material shipment?

  1. A. Only in the Emergency Response Guidebook
  2. B. On the vehicle placards
  3. C. On the shipping paper
  4. D. On the driver's CDL

Correct answer: C. – On the shipping paper

The emergency-response telephone number must appear on the shipping paper unless an exception applies. It allows responders to obtain detailed information about the hazardous materials involved in an incident. Placards and the Emergency Response Guidebook help identify hazards, but they do not replace the shipment-specific telephone number on the shipping documentation.

Question 6

What penalties may result from violating hazardous-material transportation requirements?

  1. A. Transportation delays only
  2. B. Warnings without monetary penalties
  3. C. Civil fines and, for qualifying criminal violations, imprisonment
  4. D. Higher insurance premiums only

Correct answer: C. – Civil fines and, for qualifying criminal violations, imprisonment

Hazardous-material violations can carry serious legal consequences for Wyoming drivers and carriers. A person who knowingly violates the applicable requirements may be subject to a civil penalty. A person who willfully or recklessly violates hazardous-materials law may be fined, imprisoned for up to five years, or both, with a higher maximum imprisonment term in certain injury or death cases.
