Episode #067:
After several obvious restarts our comedic duo finally get started talking about HazMat materials and how each of them has hauled them. But in different ways!

From there they go on to talk a bit about the training aspect of getting and retaining that endorsement. Janet stumbles over the words FMCSA - Federal Motor Carriers’ Safety Association.

They discuss how handling different loads effect you as a driver and go into classes of HazMat materials and more responsibilities. They finish up with the various classes of HazMat, security plans and
