    I'm sure some of you already knew this but I admit I don't know everything, and I did not know hauling automobiles is classified as a HAZMAT load. It's pretty obvious why it would be considered HAZMAT but I didn't think the DOT would classify it, since there are a lot of drivers out there that do not have a CDL or have a CDL without the endorsement. I was informed that haulers that do not have a CDL or endorsement are exempt from having one.

    No real point to this post just thought I would share what I learned today speaking with a Highway Patrol friend of mine. So anyway hope everyone had a great day, time to get some sleep. Have a good night ya'll and talk to ya tomorrow.

    ...Probably because of the fuel and engine chemicals.

    We're not supposed to haul engines, or engine CORES, unless they're drained.

    they clearly aren't hazmat or the loads would be marked as such. there are no table 1 materials in/on a car and there certainly is not 1001 lb of any other qualifying material.

    your friend is wrong.

    Umm, just plain NO! The Van Lines all haul cars inside of their trailers, and no Van Line has any hazmat hauling status.

    I'll have to agree with everyone else, your friend is wrong about car hauling being hazmat. Look in a hazmat book and car hauling isn't mentioned once.

    Mack, do you think you aren't allowed to haul car components unless they're drained because your company doesn't want to clean the oils and chemicals off the floor every other day?
