Freedom Self Dispatch!

Yeah but still got to have it lol.

 

It's like a hazmat ... you don't need tanker endorsement for van, unless you're going to haul IBCs.

 

When I called schneider last year in august they said they require during hiring it even If your not going to haul anything dealing with tanker. That's what the recruiter told me.

 

Because "tank vehicle" is being interpreted to include any commercial vehicle transporting tanks with a rated capacity of 119 gallons or more and an aggregate capacity of more than 1,000 gallons. Specifically, 49 C.F.R. part 383.5 defines "tank vehicle" as "any commercial motor vehicle that is designed to transport any liquid or gaseous materials within a tank or tanks having an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or the chassis." Common sense might dictate that the language "permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or the chassis" would exempt dry van drivers transporting cargo containing tanks larger than 119 gallons; however, FMCSA has ruled that tanks blocked or braced with other cargo are included in the definition, interpreting part 383.5 to include portable tanks and intermediate or intermodal bulk containers (IBCs), which represent a rapidly growing market. To this end, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) was filed last fall that would clarify the definition, providing that "tank vehicle":

(1) Means any commercial motor vehicle transporting, or designed to transport, any liquid or gaseous material within:
(i) A tank that is either permanently or temporarily attached or secured to the vehicle or chassis and has a rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more; or
(ii) Multiple tanks either permanently or temporarily attached or secured, when the aggregate rated capacity of those tanks is 1,000 gallons or more, as determined by adding the capacity of each individual tank with a capacity of more than 119 gallons.

Freightshaker with a cummins.

 

Talked to a recruiter Friday and seriously considering the move. How do y'all deal with tolls and pre pass? She said you get reimbursed for tolls and that if you want pre pass, you can get it yourself because Interstate has a good enough CSA score.

 

you pay scales, tolls, and prepass if you want it.

 

Ok, so tolls are reimbursed then?

 

So .... again, you don't need the endorsement, UNLESS, you're pulling IBCs or the like.

 

If you're pulling totes in a van trl..yes you do need it...
