Do you need a Hazmat endorsement for class b dump truck driving?

I don't really want to be donning suits off and on. Specially summertime.

 

Not much hazmat requires a suit. I only had to wear one on rare occasion with a hazmat liquid load.

 

I see oil and chemicals wearing overalls. And chemicals wearing face masks of some sort.

 

Depends on what's in the tanker. Some places have to suit up and some places don't.

 

Asbestos, pcbs, lead etc will all require a haz, (and suit/respirator) even if your not going to be hauling those id still keep it, never know when you might need it

 

Ive run blacktop. Ive also run whatever else can be chopped up to fit in the bin.

No hazmat anywhere. Not in those days. Sure some of the material had dangers inherent in them but hazmat? nope.

Now. Considering what has changed since 2003 and what you have to jump through so many hoops to have Hazmat would make you want to renew it. Just because. I turned mine in years ago, but there is a current year hazmat guide on the corner of the desk, we sometimes get some interesting loads through my area so if something did happen we will know pretty fast whats what.
