California law requires all motor carriers to obtain a Hazardous Materials Transportation License before transporting regulated substances within the state. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) issues this license after reviewing your completed application. The packet contains two forms needed to apply.
The packet includes the CHP 361M license application and the CHP 362 Motor Carrier Profile. Both forms must be completed and submitted together. Applicants without a California Carrier Identification number must apply before beginning operations.
Approved carriers receive a license card by mail. You must keep this card in your vehicle at all times when transporting hazardous materials. The CHP reviews applications within approximately 30 days of receipt. Incomplete applications are returned for corrections, which restarts the review period.
The license covers transportation of chemicals, flammable liquids, explosives, and other regulated materials. Both California-based carriers and out-of-state carriers operating in California must hold a valid license before hauling regulated cargo.
