Tanker - advantages/disadvantages

Only hazmat loads

 

I know a person is not supposed to smoke within 25 ft. of certain hazmat loads. But what are the chances of a driver that smokes getting hired by a company that hauls hazmat from time to time ? Just curious, thanks.

 

This is true a smoker can get hired but just dont get caught smoking in the truck its a hefty fine plus when CSA comes online it will get you major points for it

 

Just as long as it's not a flammable load your good if so better not or like the poster infrint of me said CSA won't like u very much or your points record

How you doing on miles right now ?

Memphis is crappy yet again ..

 

No, but some companies like mine have a no smoking policy in the cab. Do the drivers that smoke follow it? Not really. But that will be their problem if they are caught.

There is the law and your companies specific policy on smoking. I would think that if you followed them, there would never be a problem.

Drive safe

 

My boss told me that federal regs prohibit any commercial driver from smoking in the tractor...

I have not looked in the green book to see if this is true or not.

Anyone know?

 

I think your boss is blowing smoke...........

 

Lots of HAZMAT BS since 9/11. You will be stopped at the chicken-coops alot.
