    Over the past 6 months or so, I've been hauling a lot of Acids/Corrosives in MC 312/DOT 412 trailers. This has been mainly out of our Buffalo, NY terminal.

    I'm thinking this is something I'd like to pursue, fully, in the near future. You know, a company that specializes or mainly only deals with the above mentioned.

    What areas would you recommend for me look into, to pursue my goals of doing such? Relocating, to me, is an almost desire. LOL. I'm looking at preferably down South, or out West. I'm just trying to pick some brains.

    Are there any particular companies you'd suggest for me to look into/at? It could range anywhere from a local job, to OTR. That part doesn't matter to me.

    Thank you in advance! I've been trying to do some research, but I am apparently not using the right key words.

    Last I heard from you, you were doing a layover in Reno, Nevada with a hazmat load going to California.
    Trimac Transportation is what you want; coast to coast. @ethos is the guy to give advice where is the best place to live if you work for Trimac. They're all over Texas for sure.

    I remember reading about a company in PA that hauls radioactive stuff...I don't remember the name or have any personal experience.

    Yes, broke down in Reno/Sparks for about a week. My truck was at the Mack dealership across from the Petro, and I was put up in a sweet hotel about 0.5 miles from the TA out there! LOL. That was only a load of latex. Good times, out there!

    I have talked to Ethos quite a bit. I was going to PM him to see what they haul out of their terminal in Pasadena. Seems like a good gig. Trimac is on my list, for sure! I'm just enjoying hauling acids!
     
    Chinatown and G13Tomcat Thank this.
