HazMat Question

Yah having Hazmat is good BUT it's like standing on your hood when your pulling to the scale house screaming at the top of your lungs "INSPECT ME! ME ME! INSPECT ME! PLEASE!

 

Just so you know, If you have pre-pass, there are only about 3 states that make you pull into the scales with HazMat. Arkansas, Arizona and Ohio....There may be 4. But most states, if you get a green light, you just keep on going.

 

He's just jealous because he can't get a Haz Mat endorsement ...Not
only that what 55 year old man with 32 years of experience would waste his time on a truck forum with kiddos wanting to join the trucking industry.Grow up man!!! My dad is 55 as well with over 20 years of experience and 2 million+ safe driving miles and no tickets....you would think he would be over here bragging to everybody about his awesome record and experiences close calls etc.... Nope

 

I feel for you because Im a little koo koo myself...The thing with mental hospitals and rehabs is that if you volunteer to go then there is no problem getting a haz mat.....The haz mat application that you will get before you take the actual written test will have a question about this...It will ask you if you ever been to a mental hospital INvoluntary.....I checked no and I got my haz mat after i passed the test,got my fingerprints,and two letters back from the feds......Problem with me was my girlfriend broke up with me so i went crazy and i voluntered to go check myself into the loony bin and started taking some prozac.....After that i found me a new woman,threw away the pills,and got over it.Please do me a favor and go get yourself a HAZ MAT

 

Just a little tip about pre pass and hauling hazmat! Get a Green Light with a hazmat load on means you need to pull in! Even says so in the pre pass booklet that you didn't bother to read! You need to find that booklet or ask your company or the DOT! I was so freaking happy when we got pre pass when it came out only to find out that with that hazmat load on still meant you stood on the hood yelling and screaming "INSPECT ME PLEASE" ..................... now what if that company doesn't have pre pass? OK Climb on the hood and repeat after me..."INSPECT ME!" ROFLMAO!

 

Follow the rules and be ready ...Who cares about an inspection

 

I thought maybe they had changed the rules or something. I saw several hauling hazmat who must have gotten the green light and they went on by the scale.
