    I am a new hire. I have been driving for about 3 months. I just want to know if I have to get my hazmat endorsement. I am a forced to do that. I really don't want to haul it if I don't have to.

    if your company requires that you have it, then you have no choice other than the unemployment line................

    How do you deal with parking and trip planning with a hazmat load? How do you find places to park. What time do you have to be there to find a place to park?

    I'm curious about this hazmat.

    Thanks,

    unless you are hauling explosives or radioactive loads, just do "your thing" like you always do.

    With flammbles on board (classes 2.1, 3, 4.1, 4.2) you can't park within I believe 300' of open fires.
