    You'll find out when you get audited. You don't just haul haz-mat with an endorsement on your CDL and placards on the trailer.

    You do if you only haul the following in 1 gallon cans as I do. You obviously don't know the rules!

    Paint, lacquer, enamel, stain, shellac, varnish, liquid aluminum, liquid bronze, liquid gold, liquid wood filler, and liquid lacquer base.

    Load alerts for freight. Agent posts up loads in the Landstar system and they pop up in your email with load details (pick, delivery, commodity, weight, rate). I have a designated Gmail account just for alerts so it doesn't spam up my main account. Keep both emails set on your smartphone to notify. Watch load alerts and book as you please. Good stuff, when it rarely pops, is gone fast. It's mostly cheap garbage you have to watch these daily, long term. You have to be set up with landstar then go set up your alert parameters on their website. It's free.
