Hazmat environmental, any current information on them?

A placard is nothing to mess with. I hauled out of FMC Mobile in Axis, Alabama. Sometimes hazardous waste, sometimes raw materials, other times final products. Smooth bore, isos, dry vans, containers.

 

Nope, there is a big difference for me. If I have to run some kill you quick inhalation hazard crap every day, 100K a year would be way too less. Would not do it. Same thing with the highly acidic crap and highly explosive crap.

 

Only thing I don’t like is the super singles. The mid roof t680 is nice tho.

 

Orientation was instructive, laid back, fun. Office people were nice and lunch provided daily. The safety director was also driving this stuff for a while he has said he had gone through lot of stress at times and still kept to it there so he knows his stuff. Good people staff not many places up here like that, I got a sense of da south like tx there..
Anyway tho I signed with Carlisle Carriers at .58 loaded and empty...1st week in the books.

 

I’m interested in hearing more also.

 

I, too, am interested in the job. I live about 10 minutes away. I'm just curious about hometime.

 

They have terminals at Buffalo and Cincinatti. I drove for them back in 2004 or2005. They talk a good pride filled line, but when you tow that line, they change. Was running from Cordova IL to Cottage Grove MN, was called in southern MN for a random drug test and could not immediately do it, and then they said do it this afternoon after you deliver. In training they said once you are notifies, that is the next thing you do, period. Did what I could but not good enough for them. When they discpline a driver, they have you calling in every morning, but suddenly no work for today. I worked from St Paul Stockyards Truckstop, but now the trucks are parked at Roberts WI Freightliner Dealer. They have about half of the fleet domiciled across the eastern United States. You get licensed to haul Hazardous Waste where ever a license is needed. Many of the employees are sick from being around Hazardous Materials. When I took my truck back to Cincinatti, the guy that helped me unload my car I had inside the trailer, had blood running from his nose and he said it happens every now and then. The Owner, Dennis shows up at orientation and tells about starting the business with very little money or credit. I was handicapped as I do not breath fast enough to pass a Pulmanory Function test, so I could only pull vans and haul barrels. A senior driver that had been with company for many years had taken my load from St Paul to Cottage Grove, instead of going to a harder to find 3M facility. I had to do the load he was dispatched on, then a few years later, I was at TA in Burns Harbor IN, and he had cut the corner too short and twisted up a loaded tanker trailer on the driveway barricades. Karma works.
