    with out a hazmat, and no twic, most of the larger companies may be out of the question. maybe flatbed or reefer. having a hazmat and twic card helps. do a google search for companies that hire from your area.

    Why is it most people think a reefer driver doesn't have hazmat?

    I really can't remember it's either Crete or Heartland that doesn't require Hazmat anymore. Before someone jumps on here and complains about either one....your attitude makes the company.

    Not 100% of the time. I have worked for a jewel in the past that I would not even wish on the worst person I know.

    I agree, Don't assume that refers don't have Haz-Mat. In fact to run refer for most companies you will need it AND TWIC.

    To the OP, 1 1/2 years out of trucking AND no haz-mat. Going to be tough to find a job in this industry at this time. To many drivers with resent exp. and a haz-mat that are looking.
