You can go home every Friday if you want to. Tmc hauls hazmat loads. I have multiple videos on my channel where I'm hauling hazmat. I've left a few links below. Tmc does give extra points for having your hazmat endorsement, passport and twic card. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJiXh5ybeMqkfassi=OP0tocrR5LQRpqC- kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzOpKSlfZukr7csi=NQ2qJXagU0kQQkNe kzbin.info/www/bejne/moubdnuXj9OZlc0si=6rXjPMGi1pgsOoGF

Is that Senn of Newberry, SC? I was a O/O with Senn (of Newberry) for a few months in the late 70's before moving my lease to CFCC for the duration of my O/O experience. Learned a lot and somehow managed to survive. Enough of that. Not about me. Appreciate your attitude and willingness to accept what comes, Mr. Erudite. Good example for all who are willing to accept the responsibility of this industry.

Shoulda asked the shipper why roofing that's going to spend the next 20yrs exposed to the elements needs to be tarped on the way to the roof. Makes zero sense especially since it's already wrapped in plastic.
@domneeds42093 күн бұрын
Because the backside of the black paper is super sticky tar, and when it hits direct sun it heats up and becomes almost impossible to pull apart. And that means a waste of a roll. 💯and it’s not exposed to the elements when it’s under shingles or metal roofing
