Question about moving personal property / HAZMAT

I'm sure you'll be fine when transporting that. Its not in bulk quantities so you shouldn't have a problem.

<1000 lbs = minute quantities no hm required

 

Unless it's like 500 pounds of explosives? o.o There's a few exceptions to the HM rules, like batteries are perfectly exempt and certain HM materials are either feather light or highly dangerous an must be placarded..

household things he's got is safe though...

edit:

1. A highway route-controlled quantity of a Class 7 (radioactive) material;
2. More than 25 kg (55 pounds) of a Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 (explosive) material or an amount of a Division 1.5 (explosive) material requiring placarding under 49 CFR 172;
3. More than one liter (1.08 quarts) per package of a "material poisonous by inhalation," that meets the criteria for "hazard zone A";
4. A "material poisonous by inhalation," that meets the criteria for "hazard zone B," in a bulk packaging (capacity greater than 460 L (119 gallons));
5. A "material poisonous by inhalation," that meets the criteria for "hazard zone C," or "hazard zone D," in a packaging having a capacity equal to or greater than 13,248 L (3,500 gallons); or
6. A shipment of compressed or refrigerated liquefied methane or liquefied natural gas, or other liquefied gas with a methane content of at least 85 percent, in a bulk packaging having a capacity equal to or greater than 13,248 L (3,500 gallons).

 

He's taking about gasoline and motor oil, not explosives, bio weapons, or uranium

 

I know ^.^ I was just pointing out 1k pounds is not a strict rule. A single pound of uranium will require placards.... >.>

46k pounds of car batteries are exempt and 1k pounds of corrosives in barrels is required.

 

actually...any amount of table 1 hazmat must be placarded. This gentleman will not be hauling any table 1 stuff so all should be good. You might want to cover your company signs and write not for hire and place it on ur truck.

 

When did they change that? The above is straight from the handbook. And I've hauled 20 pounds of fireworksa a few times. Only times I had to placard them was when I had 55 or more pounds of the stuff

 

Covering the signs is a bad idea . The company must be displayed even when off duty and it IS for hire even though it is not being paid for that load.This brings to mind liability questions . Bobtail insurance is required because carrier insurance only covers while under dispatch . I doubt bobtail insurance would pay while hauling a load of private property .
