Later on, as I mentioned before, hazardous materials are defined as substances that are harmful as well as poisonous. What is in common between conventional truck driver and HAZMAT truck drivers is the fact that they have to comply with all DOT regulations.
HAZMAT truck drivers make more money than conventional truck drivers are because of the following duties that they must fulfill:
- Examining the truck before the transportation process (all systems of the truck shall be working properly);
- Performing verification of specified and labeled hazmat shipment;
- To bring with them all the needed permits for each type of hazmat freight;
- Keeping touch with dispatcher, whereas taking care to perform a safe transportation (without any leaks of the hazmat materials);
- Also, bills of lading are a “must”;
- Performing minor emergency roadside repairs;
- Keeping their trucks equipped with safety gear (fire extinguishers, gas masks, emergency kits);
On first sight, the duties of conventional truck drivers and HAZMAT truck drivers might seem the same, but still, there is a big difference- HAZMAT truck drivers are transporting hazardous and dangerous materials.
