Adding my haz mat endorsement after dropping it many yrs ago. What would be my best option to make that income with no haz mat exp. I was thinking Air Products or Praxair. Thanks

As a company driver with no exp you are low man on totem pole for a while.
It will be a while before that kind of income rolls in. Don't set your expectations too high.
Hazmat makes no difference in pay. Its the same either Bombs or Potato chips.ColoradoLinehaul, Badmon, Mooseontheloose and 1 other person Thank this. -
In a market like Chicago or Houston 100k locally is no problem. But a place like Orlando make bring in 75k-80k locally.
Look into places like
Nalco
Univar
Suez
Air Products
Old Dominion
FedEx freight

Not having any hazmat experience isnt a big deal as long as you have a good amount of driving experience in general. Many of these companies want to train you "there way" after being hired now anyways. $100k a year may be a bit tough in many areas but high $70ks or even low $80ks is very doable. The good thing about these jobs is you don't have to kill yourself for that kind of money. Air Products was a good company to work for years ago. Not so sure about now. I know several guys who had many years in with them and left because they were miserable there. I've also seen them advertising for drivers with sign on bonuses recently. That was unheard of.

Really depends on your location. Here in the NW it’s very doable. I got into it through Air Liquide with no tanker or hazmat experience. I’m at Messer now (was Linde not long ago) and we’re a union location. Over here it’s one of the highest paying hazmat gigs along with a few other chemical companies.
Mooseontheloose, superpet39 and scythe08 Thank this. -

If you think you are going to walk into Poobah express inc and demand 10 more cents a mile waving your Hazmat endorsement with a high pair of boots, they will laugh you out of the building. You watch. -
You are wrong. Theres a local company in my area hring that pays you a higher cent per mile if you have a twic and hazmat. Factalds, autopaint, homeskillet and 2 others Thank this. -
