It normally takes at least 30 days from the date you submit your fingerprints to complete the background check. However, the time period can be longer than 30 days.
That's good to know. And how can I prepare myself for the HazMat test?
You can study the hazardous materials section of the NYS Commercial Driver License Manual (CDL-10), or study the Hazardous Materials Manual (CDL-11).
Will do. I have one final question about fingerprinting though. Can I just come in for fingerprinting or how does it work?
