    Do I want to get My Hazmat Before starting with O.D.? If I have it will I get More or Better Loads? Thanx.

    It would make you better than a similar driver with no hazmat endorsement. :) Not sure if it would get you more/better loads but I think it would make you more employable in general. Just takes a day's worth of studying and the test at the DMV. Does cost you about $100 though for the fingerprinting, and you have to wait a few weeks.

    As of now, you probably should get your tanker too. We haul a lot of hazmat in bulk containers. L/H drivers out of Indy are required to have their tanker endorsement.
