I get a call Thursday morning (8/22) saying I need to get my hazmat ASAP. I am in Dallas heading home to Tennessee and decide that I will stop on my way to the yard and take the test (I was already approved), then, I remembered that I never really studied the subject. So, last night I pull up the TT practice tests and go at it. Today, I passed the test with 0 wrong answers. Yeah, it works.

HAZMAT:

Hazardous Materials

Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations

SAP:

Substance Abuse Professional

The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.

My gosh! Rolling Thunder, your posts are more than contributing, I look for them every time i sign on. And getting hazmat is very cool. I have a very long career in the pool supply industry, so I have most concepts driven into my head . I had to know almost as much as the drivers carrying the load. Man, times they had to display three placards at once. Congrats on the hazmat, kind sir. and kinda funny, I am in Dallas (sort-of) heading to tenn this Sunday for School.

Drilled for my HM renewal last year, using the training here - sailed right through it.

Wish it was up and running when I went for it originally in '09 - had to retake it then.

Thanks Brett. I knew without a doubt I would be in great shape with the info from here (it helped me show up to school with a huge lead last year).
