    It also depends if your comapny sometimes hauls hazmat and you have the hazmat endorsement. This is the biggest reason I've kept my hazmat endorsement. Say there are 5 other drivers from your company besides you sitting at a small town T/S. The only load available is a hazmat load and your the only one with the endorsement. Guess who is getting the load while the others may be sitting for 2-3 days while their dispatcher looks for a nonhazmat load.
