    The big LTL outfits all require a tank endorsement, but I have never seen a ABF/Holland/Estes/Saia tank semi trailer.

    The tank endorsement is required for portable tanks holding 119 gallons or more of a liquid, IIRC.

    Freight lines routinely haul chemical totes which hold 300-350.

    Construction worker. I drove for a construction company. The other cdl holders didn't seem like drivers , I found out they weren't. The construction company told them they would give them a pay raise if they got there cdl's. They went and got there cdl's. I found out how regular humans lived for a while lol !!!!

    Well, mine didn't need a CDL, but I think some larger vans or portable studios and satellite uplink trucks do need a CDL B or C.

    Thanks, Mack. I haven't pulled freight in awhile, I was unaware the reg had changed.

    I looked it up, and you are correct. 119 or more in a single container, or over 1000 gallons all together.

    That thousand gallon rule, did the containers have to be over a certain size? Or just total regardless of container size?

    The way I read it,1000 gallons total. So, 100 ten gallon buckets of dimethyloxyblatnobenzathone and you better have that X endorsement,mister!
