Hazardous Materials Endorsement

I have found the occasional Hazmat load on 123Loadboard and with Truckloads. With the increase in oil field loads I have rarely used load boards this year and a fair amount of our loads are Hazmat.

 

By the way, funny story about Hazmat on a flatbed: last year I booked a Hazmat load of flammable totes with a broker that insisted the shipper would require tarps. WWHHHAATTT!!!??? I got to the shipper and he started laughing when I said the broker said the load had to be tarped.

"Wait, so he wants you to cover up the Hazmat labels on the totes AND trap flammable fumes under a tarp????"

I didn't tarp. That load paid over $3 a mile.
