    I don't know what to say... if I would be the boss I would not let driver open the door of hazmat loaded truck unless he had 5 years of driving experience.

    I wouldn't make that blanket statement, I have seen some with a 2 day old license that I would put more trust than some that had been driving for years, it is all about the individual.

    Most hazmat is no different as far as hauling as a load of tennis shoes.
     
    tscottme and kemosabi49 Thank this.

    Call Alan Richie, they are a US Mail contractor pays is close to 22.00 per hour plus Health and Welfare of a additional 5.00 bucks an hour till they offer you insurance, if you decline the insurance you will still get the extra 5.00 per hour for the first 40 hours per week. Not Hazmat but at 27 to 28 bucks and hour do you really care. Also try Legend they have local driver drop n hook loads to feed the OTR trucks, drop yard to customer DC, and there no touch.
     
    tportTX11 Thanks this.

    Thanks again.
