| Your Resume My employer does not haul hazardous, but they wanted at least one of their dozen drivers to be qualified. Two of us volunteered to renew our endorsements with the new background check, and the employer was going to pay for it. Then, I dropped out when the finger-printing agent was no longer scheduled at the Benton Harbor Flying J. Eventually, my wife and I went to Portage, MI where I was fingerprinted at a Kinko's on our way to Red Lobster. I paid the fee without reimbursement because I like to have all of the endorsements on my CDL. I have not hauled hazardous since I pulled tanker in the early 1980s. I have not pulled doubles since the early 1970s, but it looks good on the resume. The employer should realize that their hazardous training program must be documented before they can haul hazardous, regardless of the qualifications of their drivers. |

 While many companies do not haul a "lot" of haz-mat. They do haul some, so you'll need that endorsement (for that company). A "smart" company will want you to have one. It gives them more choices to load you out with. But then again, a smart company would have you pulling triples everywhere you went also. 1 flatbed, 1 tanker, 1 reefer. Thankfully the law prevents that or they would. I'm keeping my endorsements. While the industry has not "paid" for that little extra. They will within the next few years. And they will pay dearly  The number of drivers retiring or simply refusing to renew their haz-mat, are about to create a HUGE void that will need to be filled. And they will be doing everything they can to steal drivers from other companies, if they are short.
