    Well, it would have to be over the reportable quantity to need to be placarded or considered a hazmat load. Do you know how much weight of hazmat it is? Did the shipper give you placards? What do you mean by a sticker,

    You know, I'm just not sure. I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. Usually, shipper will always provide placards if needed. Seems to me like it is not a shipment that falls under hazmat but I very well could be wrong. Someone will be along to help. Sorry

    That does not require placards or a hazmat endorsement to haul, you're good to go driver.

    Never seen them sticker bills like that.

    Batteries are not hazmat.I hauled a load of batteries and my boss and I went round and round over this.I finally decide to let my boss win the arguement and I hauled that load.

    That un is certainly hazmat, but it's under the reportable quantity (1001 lbs) on table 2.

    These were open on pallets.I had hazmat endorsement but I didn't get placards and wasn't listed as hazmat on the bill.
