    BJ Cecil has been looking for a mech since Dec 2008, and a driver since Mar 2010! :biggrin_25523: Hopefully they're just too busy hauling to update the website.

    Hey thanks! Flyers website says they are hiring for their facility in Sparks. But I'm not ready for the change yet. And if I did switch jobs the same year my wife chose to end her 10 yr career, I'd be in the market for a new wife, as well! :biggrin_2553: Don't want/need that headache.

    I know Arkansas. I believe Arizona too. Ohio unless.you have the hazmat alliance. Im not sure of the fourth. Ill go try to find my prepass book.

    Edit::

    Ok found it

    West Virginia and Ohio: unlicensed hazmat. Need the hazmat alliance to bypass.

    Arkansas and Arizona: all placarded hazmat.

    Alabama: bulk fuel

    I thought h2s woould go thru resperAtor. That's why guys wear hoods and have oxygen/nitrogen sent into the hood.

    Coming from a noob but common sense dictates i say the catch is keep your nose clean. No more methamphetamine-fueled binges, no dui's, keep a clean driving record and overall stay on your toes.

    Sounds easy enough to do but based on my observation of other drivers half of them dont even belong on the road in a 4wheeler let alone a 50,000 lb bullet.
     
    Giocrypt and Lux Prometheus Thank this.
