HAZMAT Drivers

I’m thinking of joining the HAZMAT crew. I’ve been reading this article about the do’s and don’ts of hauling dangerous goods by different ways of transport, and I’ve got some questions. https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-documentation/dangerous-goods-regulations/

First off, how tough is it to get a HAZMAT endorsement
Second, how much extra do HAZMAT drivers make compared to regular drivers?
Third, what are the highs and lows of being a HAZMAT driver?

Thanks folks

Just pass the background check, take a test, and you’re good

Don't forget about working long hours and sometimes spend nights away from home.

you gotta deal with a lot of stress and pressure. Follow strict rules and regulations, and be careful not to cause any accidents or spills.

According to Indeed, the average salary for a HAZMAT driver in the US is $71,760 per year, which is about 25% higher than the average salary for a truck driver.
