One in a Million? Well I Scored One Out of Six!

Recently I was asked if I would be interested in obtaining a HAZMAT on my license to deliver Yellow III meds. I initially said,"Yes." So I did investigating with the DMV and received so many different answers I asked a friend that owns a driving school about the correct answers, he said, "That DMV is giving you incorrect information, ask a State Trooper.

I was in Poughkeepsie today and drove by a State Police Station and turned in. I asked the police about DMV requirements for a HAZMAT license, the trooper at the desk said, "Just one minute, I know an officer in a nearby office that does nothing but CDL and HAZMAT, I'll give him a call."  He did and the officer appeared at the station in less than 5 minutes.

The officer answered every question I had and gave me more information than anyone at DMV or the hotline could answer. I asked him why he could answer all my questions and the NY DMV could not?

He said, "There are 6 experts in the state of New York on HAZMAT and CDL licenses, and I am one of the six."

What are the odds?  The universe is always taking care of me with first class service!  I love to be first without trying and this is one of those times, once again.  Thank you, universe! And NO, I am not getting a HAZMAT to carry Yellow III in my car and you should not either!  You can ask your local State Police and they will tell you why.  Thanks Officer Spak!
