    Anything explosive. Of the more than 3 million miles, I hauled one(1) load of gasoline, and it wasn't for me. Pneumatic tanker, milk, even poop, but they call them gas haulers "suicide jockies" for a reason. How about a dump? Pretty safe and easy there, long as you don't lay one over.

    Wouldn’t haul nothing else. Good money and easy schedule.
    Personally I hope more drivers refuse to haul hazardous, makes the pay even better!

    Get your year in and then look at some chemical tank companies. QC and Groendyke have terminals in Ft Worth. Schwerman(Tankstar) in Hutchins and CC Cobb in Waxahatchie.

    If this company had bull racks, they'd be the L.W. Miller of Texas. Moooo!

    Lone Star Milk, Wichita Falls, Texas.

    Western Dairy Transport, Cabool, Missouri. Wherever milk flows, WDT goes.

    I drive for Indian River Transport and I've delivered to the Daisy plant near Dallas. We also haul milk out of Dalhart, Texas every which way.
