Just wanted to let you know this video was very helpful and informative ignore the hate comments hope you continue to prosper have a blessed day thank you.
What’s the best way to get into hazmat industry. I have all my endorsements and technically will be going on 2 months experience in the industry. My ultimate goal with trucking is fuel hauling
Man Transwood denied me during the background check over here in Colorado. The company is like right near my house also lol. But im going to keep on applying since i have fuel hauling experience. I start my new fueling hauling job this week so its all good.
And this is the problem that I have with the industry! Having a Hazmat endorsement should automatically put you in a different pay grade! There’s no way that a hazmat guy should be making the same as a dry van, or reefer, or even flatbed (without hazmat) guy!! Im sorry to tell you but This pay is not great for any hazmat guy!
Absolutely agree w both comments. Hazmat is highly underpaid for the risk involved in safely transporting these loads day in day out. We should be getting minimum $33 hourly imho. ANYWHERE! As a Florida hazmat driver i’m at 30,600 gross as of today 4/19/24. People might say that’s good money and it is but when you add all the stresses and risks of the job, trust me it isn’t enough. Taxes be killing anything over 2k For ex. Last week i grossed 2300 but only took home 1800. That’s 500 in taxes off the rip. This economy and inflation plus heavy taxes is killing middle class or what there is left of it. Good luck to all! If you’re reading this comment trucking is a good industry just have to be willing to work hard and put up w all the BS that comes with the job and above all strive to keep your driving record spotless.
@@luisrosario363 no one with hazmat should be making less than 200k per year! Hear me out! We supply the fucking world with the very most important shit on earth!! You cannot haul “blood” without hazmat, you cannot haul military grade weapons without hazmat. The list goes on and on!!! Guys that haul food shouldn’t be making less than $150,000 a year!!! I’m frustrated because all of us have the power to shut this entire world down but we won’t pull together to do so!! Shit makes me mad bro!!! Yeah we’ll get taxed to death but there are loopholes around that shit! I’m just angry that we’re not taking a stand to the fuckn bullies bro!!
Bro I second this, I'm doing market research into other income possibilities. As it stands driving frac sand sounds attractive/horrible (good $/ 0 sleep ). I run a landscaping company in central TX, the tax code is LEGALIZED PLUNDER. the moment you make over gross 40k you're margins shrink to around 20%. I think you have to cross the 150 to 200 mark to be "middle class". Completely fraudulent system we live in!
If you’re trying to work local. Just look for smaller companies that will hire new drivers and get your experience up. If you’re looking for OTR a lot of big companies will hire new driver. It’s easy getting an OTR job.
Ill be there sooner or later. Just hoping lordi gives me time to get this done. The way things are going now seems like lord return will be happening soon. Eather way. Im happy both ways. I graduate cdl class A this month. I neen my 1 to 2 years of driving first. But fuel hulling is what is on goal
@@dmoney250 i’m 1 month away from being done in school, but I will be getting all my endorsements. Just want to be prepared for what’s out there after some experience. And that’s dope man congrats on the job!
@@Henryc00 hell yeah! Where are you from? And yeah there is a lot of high paying jobs out there, some of them will take you right out of school! Congratulations on getting your CDL!

Just keep your eye out on smaller companies that say they will train. Try to get at least 6months Experience. It also depends on where you’re from.

The more you make the more the government takes I always kept my checks around 1600 a week because when you go over 2,000 they tax the shit out of you

Great info 👑💪🏽
I feel ya with all respect money good b safe bro u can only make 1 mistake with jet fuel.with the way people drive these days
Yeah that’s true! Thank you! I’m always paying attention to everything. If I can avoid it I will, but yeah I know people can’t drive lol
i’m 20 and goddamn as more motivated to start this more then ever. my guy showed me what i make at a target warehouse in a month in two weeks
Are you concerned that breathing in fuel may cause cancer? Do you wear a mask while fueling?
No. I didn’t wear a mask. It can cause cancer??
hell yeah. great video man. you get st8 to the point
Thank you!
What company you with?
Been sitting on my tanker hazmat for a while now
Transwood
Are you a local driver or OTR? I see you’re in a day-cab, but some drivers stay in a motel instead of the sleeper.
I’m local
That’s amazing, keep getting it
Good Deal Brotha. I just finished my last load OTR. Looking to get a Tanker/hazmat position now.
Hell yeah! Good luck🙏🏾
What is the company name help her my brother
Transwood
@@dmoney250 thank you man
Will companies hire in hazmat when you have no trucking experience
Depending on the company.
Run it up playa!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Jet fuel ⛽️ 😎 💪 👌
I wish it's not hard to get into Hazmat Tanker in TX. I've been having them endorsement for a year, and they fill up quickly.
Would you be willing to relocate. That’s what i did to get on.
@@dmoney250 if it was simple, yes.
Where you relocate to I definitely been thinking Texas
What’s the name of the of the company
Transwood
👍🏾💯 Thts Good What Company name and Hite out town
Company name is Transwood.
Yo you left savage?
Salute King!
sup
is cdl automatic worth it?
Yeah. I think so
Almost every mega carrier has a full automatic fleet. Only smaller companies will possibly have manual trans
Well done young man…. And a note for people who don’t know… Jet fuel is kerosene!
Are those check pre tax or after tax deductions
So the 2400 is pre tax and the 2000 is after. But now I have health insurance coming out so it’s around 1800 to 1900 after tax a week
Wait you didn’t have to shave ?
To run jet?
@@dmoney250 yea bro I assumed all tankers would have to be clean shaven .
No. It only depends on what you are doing. I’m delivering acid right now, so I have to shave but fuel does not have to.
So I start class for my cdl in odessa tx. Any suggestions or tips on what to look for for my cdl job?
If you’re trying to work local. Just look for smaller companies that will hire new drivers and get your experience up. If you’re looking for OTR a lot of big companies will hire new driver. It’s easy getting an OTR job.
@dmoney250 cant do otr got a house and a dog that is to big to take with me and no 1 to take care of either one
Which company is this if you don't mind me asking and I'm working towards getting my endorsement
Transwood in Utah.
How many hours do you work a week average?
About 60 to 65 depending on the week.
How do you get on with jet fuel?
I found it on indeed
Bro! How long have you been driving trucks before you got into delivering fuel?
2 1/2 years. But they take people that have one year of experience and schooling.
Ill be there sooner or later. Just hoping lordi gives me time to get this done. The way things are going now seems like lord return will be happening soon. Eather way. Im happy both ways. I graduate cdl class A this month. I neen my 1 to 2 years of driving first. But fuel hulling is what is on goal
Yeah. this world is trash right now ha
Wishing you good luck in your journey! 🙏🏾
Great video! You're AWESOME!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
All the people with degrees grinding they teeth 😭
If you make over 2 grand a week the government taxes the shit out of you , I always kept my checks around 1600 a week and took more money home
I have kids so they don’t usually take that much out. It’s always between 290 something to 300 something
If you dont mind me asking, how do you get into jet fuel? How much experience do i need to start?
I was just looking on indeed and found it. Do you have 12 months and school or 2 years?
@@dmoney250 i’m 1 month away from being done in school, but I will be getting all my endorsements. Just want to be prepared for what’s out there after some experience. And that’s dope man congrats on the job!
