    Hazmat tankers. No sitting & waiting at truckstops or anywhere else. No searching for empties.
    @Skootlez - I drove for Tankstar in Nashville. I'm from that area. Get a tanker job; it's a whole new world. Loaded to California or Seattle, etc. and deadhead back to Nashville and it paid the same both ways.

    Gemini Trasnsport
    Quest Liner
    Foodliner
    A former neighbor of mine was making $72K working for A&R Logistics. It's not hazmat and they haul dry bulk.
    You mean, if you shave the beard, you'll look like a little fat girl?
    Some of those may not require you to cut the beard since they're not hazmat.

    Impossible. Even girls don't look like girls at 6'3 and 300 lbs.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It sounds like I've got different eyes. Had plenty of fellas question my choices before when I thought they were blind.

    Each company has their own policy. Some chemical plants may have that policy. The reason is, in an emergency, a respirator won't seal around your face.
