Hey, new to forums and new to trucking
I've read both the FAQ, (as well as clicked the links for companies hiring new graduates) and some of the threads. I wasn't really able to find out a question I had though.
My question pertains to the company as a whole in regards to freight, not if they hire graduates or not -- experience can quickly be gained.
What company or companies has anyone encountered and/or worked for that deals primarily with HAZMAT shipments? I've been told R+L Carriers is an employer who does as such but I was curious as to which company handles mostly HAZMAT, in your own personal experiences? The more dangerous the better.
Edit: I've been looking into Secured Transportation via the National Nuclear Security Administration branch of the Department of Energy but have so far come up empty.

You don't look for them, they find you.
-
lol, yeah I doubt that you just fill out an app and then get a Greyhound ticket to orientation.
-
Well no but I guess they occasionally have openings on USAJobs.gov but so far that department has only yielded engineers, not drivers.
-
You're probably not gonna get a gig running primarily HM as a rookie driver. Companies like the one you referenced tend to hire VERY experienced drivers.
-
Even with clearances in hand, this is far far beyond the scope of a rookie driver.
The more dangerous the better?
Put that on a job application and see that works out for you... -
Well what I mean is radioactive or corrosive material -- currently I'm being spoken to by ARG (after having spoken to recruiting) which is also technically a form of HM, though I'd like to know if anyone knows of any companies that deal specifically with HM? I can't seem to find it via the link, and R+L Carriers is the only company I've been informed of for this function.
Exit: I apologise for not being clear -- I plan to do ARG for experience. Other than R+L Carriers, does anyone else have any interaction with the other company(ies) and/or their equipment in regards to HAZMAT?Last edited: Oct 9, 2014

Old dominion does haz I believe. Bumped into a few happy drivers there, and I heard they started hiring students.

I find it kind of strange that a wannabe driver is SO interested in "The more dangerous the better" type of job.
"Well what I mean is radioactive or corrosive material "
That really sounds like someone desiring to get flight experience but not caring about how to take off or land... as in 9/11.MadeinMX Thanks this. -
Frankly we all know who they are, but I for one am not discussing that here on a open forum.
