Serious question..

I'm not a Schneider driver, but post # 2 is the most accurate. On certain class 9 products, you don't need a hazmat endorsement, but you must have received hazmat training.

 

Exactly, plus another point is this. What happens when you book a "non-hazmat" load and you show up at the shipper and it's a actually a placarded hazmat load. You still have to be able to review the BOL and verify if you are legal to haul the load

 

You could always turn in your truck and go back to work where you worked at before.

Also if you've been here 5 months you should've already done 1 quarterly training we have them every 3 months.

And if you stay guess what in 3 months you'll do more oh and at your 12 month anniversary you'll do cbt and a driving recertification. Just so you know

 

Again, what if you can't identify if it's a hazmat load? Schneider is looking at the lowest common denomonater here. Are the CBT's stupid? Yeah. I'll just pick my battles for something that is more epic and significant.

 

It's a PIA, but it is what it is and you don't have to go to an OC to do it, you can do it on your 10 or whenever on your own laptop 45 minutes tops for any of that quarterly stuff. Besides I should carry hazmat when I hit the Taco Bell and get the bean burrito..Whew

 

It's been a few years since I worked for SNI. I work for an oilfield service company that was bought out by Halliburton. You wouldn't believe the amount of online testing we go thru. Most of it has nothing to do with our daily jobs. Takes 3-4 days as a new hire to complete the testing. Then up to 5-6 new tests every few months.

Then comes the type of boots you wear, how you wear facial hair(we don't use, have, or are even issued respirators) mustache only.
Everything is controlled.

The processes they have are insane. It's like walking on eggshells cause you are always wondering if you are doing anything and everything the "Halliburton" way. They give CYA a whole new meaning. It's insane
