Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

I don't think Central does the endorsement. That card I have is, well I don't know what it is to be honest. It's certainly not on my license that I have Hazmat. Funny thing now that I think about it. When I moved to Utah in July 2006, I had Hazmat on my CDL. I also had tanker and air brakes. #### Utah and them taking my CDL away from me and making me get another one. I got the Hazmat back in the 80's so they probably would've made me take it over if I really wanted it anyways.

 

Whoa, it let me say "####". Hot ####.

 

No way would I pay for Idle fuel, thay need to put apu's on al the trucks or send the bean counters on the road themselves

 

i seen on someone's websight, something about being twic certified. that might be what you all are getting. i think it was swifts. don't know what twic means or what it's all about. but somewhere on google it said something in relation to hazmat.

the new requirements are federal. not just utah. dmv has signs that mention something and the effective date was august 6, 2006. the tsa application says your residing state is supposed to notify all hazmat holders. i never got the notice.

2 years ago not one company cared about it. now, they all want it. that's why i'm getting it back on. i've found two companies out of about 50 i've looked at that didn't require it.

 

Yeah you will have that with companies now. Everyone is getting there drivers get hazmat to open there freight lanes up. I need to renew my hazmat this month. The test is free in Mn but the tsa cost me about 100 every four years.

 

TWIC Card be required to get into ports! Tamper-resistant credential containing the worker's biometric (fingerprint template) to allow for a positive link between the card and the individual.

Just another way to get more money outta drivers IMHO!

But handy to have!

 

does Central Ref require drivers to have hazmat or is it just suggested?

 

Nope they don't require or suggest it!

 

well, looks i will start training in dec due to a prior accident in 04. I am going back to complete one more semester of college till December. I have a job waiting that lasts till then so i am not worried. At least I get to make money.

KH

 

December will be here in no time! This year has gone so quickly
