Must have haz/mat endorsement.

NTB. Looks good on paper, yeah? Did you find anything on here about them? Somebody on here said, the best company to work for is the one you find the least amount of information for on this board. You can't beat the no East Coast driving thing. Don't worry about me sneaking over there though, I don't want to pull a box again.

Hey your pretty good..lol.
I might add its very expensive to get a hazmat in Ohio.?
Hazmat Background Checks

Under the [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. , commercial drivers transporting hazardous materials (hazmat) must pass a background records check and be fingerprinted. The [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. (TSA) is responsible for conducting the background checks for all commercial drivers with hazmat endorsements or who want to add hazmat endorsements to their licenses. The TSA developed this program to carry out the USA PATRIOT Act mandate and protect citizens from the potential threat of terrorists using hazmat cargo. The requirement is a result of the USA PATRIOT Act (Public Law 107-56, Section 1012) and the Safe Explosives Act (Public Law 107-296, Section 1121-1123), ARS § 28-3103(A)(2), and 49 CFR 1572.
If the TSA disqualifies you because of your background, you can appeal their finding or seek a waiver. However, if you are found guilty of a disqualifying crime, you must declare any disqualifying conditions and surrender your hazmat endorsement (if you already have it) to your state's department of motor vehicles or other licensing agency.
The TSA charges the following nonrefundable fees for background checks:

• Information collection fee: $38

• Threat assessment fee: $34

• FBI fee: $22

• Total: $94

According to the TSA, background checks take between one and eight weeks to complete. You will be notified by mail whether you are approved. If you are approved, you can then go to your state's licensing authority (usually the department of motor vehicles) to complete your application process. If you are denied, you can appeal or seek a waiver.
According to the FMCSA, hazmat endorsements must be renewed at least every five years. However, your state might require renewal more often. You will need a background check each time you renew your hazmat endorsement.

This is some good information. I appreciate the post. I know both of the companies you are referring to also. Sounds pretty darn decent.... Thanks
