Pros/Cons of non tanker hazmat

double-quotes-start.png

I am struggling with whether or not to get my hazmat. I've already received my TSA approval letter and the company I'm going to work for pays $75. a week more in training & .07 cents more per mile for hazmat. My wife ,who drove for 9 years with her late husband, says I don't (and she won't) want to pull hazmat because of hassle with shipper's getting shipping papers right, having to follow hazmat routes, following all the hazmat rules, etc... I really don't see the problem but I've never btdt. Can anyone help me with my delima? THANKs

Your wife is a wise woman. Hazmat requires a lot of additional oversight, and adherence to a lot of different rules.

In the end, I would like to point out an appropriate saying: "Happy Wife, Happy Life." It sounds like you taking Hazmat loads will make your wife unhappy, with predictable results for your life.

Wife doesn't care if I haul hazmat and I really don't care to haul hazmat if I can get out of it, I just don't want to sit still making no $$$
