Hazmat and different companies

[SaltySailor]

I would like to know if and what companies do not haul hazmat?Do I need a hazmat endorsement for all expedite companies? Thanks

The only Carrier I know that does NOT require a Haz-Mat endorsement is Try Hours.

Here is the contact information: http://tryhours.expeditersonline.com/

The company we're leased to, ASAP Express in Romulus, doesn't do hazmat. Many of the smaller companies don't because of insurance costs and added regulations. We still hold our ratings, but don't miss the added headaches.

I don't run hazmat at C&M. From what I understand there are a lot of extra requirements for a company to do it, yet customers don't want to pay any additional costs for it. Sort of micro-economics 101. From a driver's standpoint it's bothersome, and even a bit scary with all the little "rules" and fines for them the DOT can come up with. As Joebon stated, many smaller companies don't bother with it. If seeking a CDL, I would still go ahead and get the hazmat license endorcement, so you don't have to "close any doors" for employment.

Unfortunately Lawrence, Try Hours DOES require all it's drivers to have Haz-Mat. I've worked for that company....
