For Okies - Getting Hazmat?

I guess those "reputable" companies I worked for owe me some money. Not once have I ever had an "X" endorsement reimbursement.
Sure...some companies will reimburse for the HazMat background check. Some will even reimburse for the TWIC card costs. Not once, since the hazmat endorsement began, have I been reimbursed for having it on my license. I always surmised it was because I actually wanted to do the job I was doing, and possession of the "X" endorsement was needed to qualify for, or remain qualified for, the job. It's a fairly simple decision Tndieselgrl has. If there is a specific company she wants to work for, and that company requires she has an "X" endorsement and a TWIC card....she needs to get them. If a company will reimburse her, all the better for her. But...possession of those tools qualifies her for a better or more desirable job or company. Knowing the requirements of hauling hazardous materials, and which routes are safe and legal, is part of the job. IF Tndieselgrl took a position at a "reputable" company, then she can fully expect to be compensated for hazmat routing, whether the "rate to the truck" pays the extra mileage or not. Her employer would still pay for the miles driven.........if the employer were "reputable". just sayin ayway, it's like you said, find the right company and you will be fine, I would rather have the credentials and not need them than need them and not have them

Well I guess I work for a reputable company as they paid for my TWIC Card and the milage I incurred from Orlando to Cape Canaveral. Thay also covered the cost ofr my Port of Tampa pass as well, Hell come to think of it they will pay for my hazmat when it expires in 2011.
Got to love these reputable companies.... Timberwolf
