No. Only those drivers applying for a CDL with a hazmat endorsement will be subject to the Transportation Security Administration’s background investigation. This will include existing drivers who are renewing the endorsement or seeking to upgrade, as well as new applicants. If disqualified to hold hazmat endorsements, drivers may continue to transport all non-hazardous cargo.
