Schneider,HAZMAT, and,,,,,,,,,,,

Just got offered a job at SNI. They hired me for the HomeRun program out of Woodhaven Mi. I know I won't be making the money I did at other places, but my life situation made this very attractive.

Only additional requirement from me is to get my HAZMAT endorsement. I'm not concerned about the background check,I'm already a FAST/EXPRESS, CTPAT qualified, driver. Is the HAZMAT endorement state by state, or federal?
Just how tough is the exam? The literature I have been given by the Sec of State office looks like a jumbled up mess to me. This is the Michigan version.LOL.

How about some other Pumpkin drivers chiming in on the HomeRun program. I already know about the slipseating 2 trucks, no inverters large enough to actually run anything, and the ssslllloooowwww trucks.

Are the HomeRun loads usually dedicated? No big deal one way or the other.

Do they try to keep you a certain distance from your home terminal/dropyard?

All in all, it just might work for me.

 

Thanks for the quick reply Mike.

So far they've impressed me as well. One thing that floored me, they rented me a car to drive from Toledo to Green Bay. Sure does beat takin' the bus. Angie told me if they didn't have a truck after orientation they would rent me another car back to WoodHaven. She said they do those things for experienced drivers.
That's VERY good news about no lies. I've been lied to a couple of times, and it sure left a lasting impression.

 

Great!! I see you're over in Grass Lake. Do you run out of WoodHaven? Get to go across the river very much?

 

I don't know about Ford, but the Chrysler plant over by the airport was still working a few months ago. I hauled a lot of loads up to Oshawa for GM, but the last I heard, they were cutting shifts and all. Ford over in Burlington was running into problems just like the rest. A sad situation every where.
