It is expected that the number of HAZMAT truck drivers will increase at least by 10% in the next year. That is so because even the trucking companies in the USA that are not specialized for transportation of hazardous materials are looking for truck drivers that have obtained hazardous endorsements.
For example, if a truck driver is hired by a trucking company to be performing conventional transportation, but still no matter of that fact has hazardous endorsements, he will receive higher incomes than the truck drivers that haven’t obtained any kind of endorsement.
So, we can see this situation as a win-win!
Both sides, the trucking companies get to work with a bigger number of customers because their truck drivers are able to transport every kind of loads, and in a point of view of truck drivers- they are going to receive higher salaries.
What we can see, no restrictions about what truck drivers can transport means that they will have a higher salary!
HAZMAT Truck Driver Unions
So that HAZMAT truck drivers can pledge a better future for themselves, they have formed HAZMAT Truck Driver Unions. One of the most popular HAZMAT truck driver Union in the USA is the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
