I guess every driver's experience is different (duuhhh).
At Schneider -- hazmat gave me first dibbs on some loads leaving Atlanta (both in dry van, and in intermodal) that other drivers weren't allowed to pull -- all becuz I had a hazmat endorsement (and they didn't).
Hazmat loads also often pay more (for example: per mile) than the equivalent trailer, without any hazmat.

If two drivers are available but there is only one load, if the load is HV then the driver with HM gets it while the other sits.Lonesome Thanks this. -
LadyNytmre Thanks this.

I've heard that account to me rough. So have them just stick with it for at least 6 months and then see if he can switch if it comes down to that.LadyNytmre Thanks this. -
Small update (and continued thanks for everyone!) - he's now on the Aurora Parts dedicated and a Greyhound bus ticket has been secured. Dropping him off on Sunday morning and looking forward to seeing how it goes for him.

Welp, he arrived and he's stranded at the bus station. They were supposed to email him an itinerary this weekend but no one did so he figured someone would meet him at the bus station and know where to drop him off. Nope. The itinerary was supposed to have the name/number of the ride share or shuttle service and the address of the hotel and the booking info. Recruiting offices are closed until 8 am tomorrow morning so he's calling the closest hotel to see if they have a booking for him but after that, we're stumped. Going to google for some sort of number to the Schneider facility in Charlotte - maybe someone there knows what he's supposed to do.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
Can he do a Lyft or Uber to his next destination?
If he has a cellphone -- he can download the app for either (or both) the above -- then request a ride from that.
Of course -- he'll also need a working credit card.
