I'm confused. You like where you are, you are getting paid quite well (especially considering today's labor market), you like your schedule, you are getting steady raises and have a path to six figures in a relatively short time.
What in the world do you think you are missing out on?
Should I add endorsements? Will it be beneficial?

Find your flavor of crap that you can put up with and stick with it.Jbrown87, hope not dumb twucker, Speedy356 and 3 others Thank this. -
Oh and the list from TSA for convictions that disqualify for Hazmat, pretty sure it's the same list for TWIC card.
Same background check for both. Key is to pay a bit more to get both rather than pay twice.

The question is this - are you happy with that company?
If you are, just do what you are doing with who you are doing it with.
Nothing wrong with you getting a hazmat endorsement, or other endorsements but going somewhere else right now if you are happy, well it may end up putting you on a path of going backwards.
All companies have problems and things drivers don't like but honestly you have to find something that works for you and if you are lucky with this one, then stick to it. Be the driver they want to keep, they want to have as their face to the customer.Jbrown87, Albertaflatbed, Speedy356 and 5 others Thank this. -
There are people in my family that never went to college and they are convinced going to college would have made them, or anyone else, more successful if they had completed college. It's a "grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence". YOU HAVE TO MAKE CHOICES THAT USE YOUR HM AND BRING EXTRA MONEY or the HM is just a letter on your CDL.
If you love where you are at, get the HM, and search and RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH until you find not a web pae making promises and a recruiter hinting at great things, but find the drivers actually making the better pay and working in better conditions and find out everything about that job and compare it to your current job, and then put in your 2 week notice and change companies. LOTS of drivers throw away good jobs because some recruiter or web page dangles good looking bait and they bite down hard on it and find out the job is NOTHING like the web page "promised" or the recruiter "guaranteed". Web pages NEVER promise anything, they hint and you interpret that hint as a promise. The recruiters never guarantee anything. They suggest and you interpret it as a guarantee. Company web sites and recruiters are just the equivalent of a commercial for the company, read the fine print or it's your fault for believing their "promise".Accidental Trucker Thanks this. -
