Hazmat Pays a Premium in Mississippi
Mississippi drivers serve Gulf Coast freight, poultry and agriculture, and the Memphis-area distribution cluster in the north.Fewer drivers qualify to haul placarded loads, so carriers pay more for the H endorsement — and stacking it with the Tanker endorsement opens fuel-hauling work that's among the best-paid local driving in Mississippi.
