I know my barn sometimes will hire someone as a casual dockworker while they wait for their HM to clear.
It usually takes 2-4 weeks but I've seen it take up to 10.
So, your BARN hires people?? Ian, WHAT kind of mushrooms do grow in your barn???Originally Posted by Ian Williams

If you can pass the tests, there is no reason NOT to get them.
I had to go back to the DMV and wait in line AGAIN to get my doubles endorsement because I didn't think I'd need it and now I wish I could have gotten my tanker endorsement.
Pulling doubles isn't as hard as you'd think, unless its windy or icy.

"Barn" is LTL speak for terminal.
I suspect it comes from that most LTLs use cheap steel buildings that resemble barns.

So I got serious and put my face to the books for some time now. I go tomorrow to take my doubles/triples and tanker test. If I pass these it'll open up a million doors for me!!! I also applied for my HAZMAT through the government.... and do the finger printing tomorrow too.... so we'll see how it all goes!
QUESTION: As I've been studying, I noticed to get the doubles/triples and tanker endorsements, it has sections to read for each, which I've done more than once, haha! Now, it also says I should read section 2 in the book, which is Air Brakes??? Since I obviously already have that on my CDL, do you think they'll RE-test me on it??? I wouldn't mind reading it, but its like 15 more pages of FINE ass print, haha!!!

Well GREAT NEWS!!! I went today to take the doubles/triples and tanker test today and I GOT IT!!!
Now I also went and submitted my info/finger prints for the HAZMAT. I'll go ahead and start studying that info so once I get the approval letter I can test and be fully endorsed!!! Hell, in the mean time I might get the passenger and bus too, hahahaha!!!

Like the title says.... is it really worth it to go after the doubles/triples and Hazmat endorsement??? In Ohio, its gonna run me roughly $200 or more and money is tight! Discuss......
