Herc Rentals? Why do I need an X endorsement?

The company I drive for , we do a lot for rental companies.
It's not bad , I usually do store to store transfers. One of my best friends started working for Herc dirt then moved to Herc production doing movie stuff. He has since joined the union and is working for Picture cars company and doing quite well. Any of the rental work is a young man's job , Herc seems to be a little more fast paced than some. It's a good place to work in my opinion.

 

No. Empty fuel tote still needs a hazmat, unless it has been purged and clean with proper paperwork provided.

 

Not Herc but a local equipment place rents out tankers for calcium chloride and also has a tanker for filling pools.

With the proliferation of directional drilling fibre-optic nowadays many places need mud trucks. Not sure if they are rented out but they're everywhere here right now. Every drill rig needs a mud truck. Even small ops are running up to 5 drills everyday trying to get those infrastructure contracts. That's 5 trucks, often with 2 big water tanks on them. The rental industry probably has taken notice to that.

 

What’s the size threshold for it needing to be placards?

 

Any tote tank / ICB 119 gallons or greater require bulk placards full or empty unless it's been cleaned.

• Bulk vs. Non-Bulk:
  In hazardous materials transportation, "bulk" refers to containers exceeding specific volume or weight thresholds. For liquids, this threshold is 119 gallons.
