Do Schneider require all tankers to have hazmat endorsements

HAZMAT:

Hazardous Materials

Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations

Yes, it's required within 60 days of being a hired.

Why wouldn't you want to get the endorsement? As PackRat pointed out, it's easy to get. Driving a tanker, however is not easy. I know with Schneider driving a tanker requires three weeks of intense training followed by a very strict test to qualify. I'm never going to drive a tanker, but if I wanted to I would want at least a year of dry van driving beforehand. Some drive tankers right out of the gate, but I wouldn't want to do that personally.

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.
