    I am studying still. I was told by TSA to wait for my TWIC card to arrive and they'll use that background info instead of applying all over for the same background check.

    Doubles and tankers is easy. Really easy test.

    Hazmat however,not so easy. They all take some studying, but that would take some serious studying.

    Might be wise for anyone of any age to always have a "Plan B" ... should they ever need it.

    Plan B isn't the problem, it's what he said in it's entirety. "It's cool, I always have a plan B, they need me more than I need them" -that's a reckless attitude. But whatever, it's not my life.

    Thank you for the clarification...

    Ok, yes, I agree... In this context, it does sound a bit reckless and young... I grant you that... Along with a few other comments made within the thread...

    But the good news is he has put in the effort to get two of the required endorsements and hopefully continuing to work towards the HazMat... seems to be on track now.
     
    Giuseppe Ventolucci and Locke Thank this.

    I work hard everyday, 50, close to 60 hours a week. I load my own truck, I deliver every pallet, do pick ups, start early , come home close to midnight. My body is sore every morning but always come to work. I take pride in my work. I'm not just backing into a dock and sitting on my äśs.... It's physical work , dude.

    On top of all I take verbal abuse from many customers, one idiot at work whose color don't matter but he's white , an åsśhole that nobody likes, but freight still gets where it needs to go !

    If you consider yourself of no value, that's on you , but I happen to think I provide great service and value to my company !!!

    Eff you Mo Fo
