Hauling drums of hazmat on flatbed......

For placards I'm familiar with what gals are required. As to how many gallons it takes for individual containers combined to require a tanker endorsement I forgot.

 

You can request a name change from the moderators.

 

@MACK E-6 post the link to the regulation.

You don't need a tanker. You just need the endorsement. Over 1,000 gallons.

I've hauled totes on flat. My first load was when i first heard about the new rule. 5 years after it came out. Now i know why i was the only one that hauled them totes. I was the only driver with the tank endorsement.

 

Yea I've been thinking of going with Little junk. But I'm too schooled in haz-mat. Don't beleave everything you see.

 

I would think you have it covered from the responses here, and yes the idea that you are now a tanker on a flatbed because of the amount of liquid moving around is a valid one.

I myself would prefer never to have to do something like that, too many things that can go wrong with such a load and Ive done a few in my time.
