Thanks for the education I don't like. It is easier here than on the side of the road with my 1,000 gallon tank.

Not to revive a dead thread, but this thread illustrates a very troublesome point. We have two respected members of this forum, both commercial vehicle enforcement officers, with differing opinions on if a tank endorsement is required for a vehicle under 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating.
Unfortunately one of them is wrong, and it could cost drivers a small fortune to challenge their incorrect assertion. Sorry @Scalemaster this time you are incorrect. @keitht has it correct.
The issue of requiring a tank endorsement on non-cdl vehicles should be looked at the same as the air brake restriction, unless the vehicle is in group A or B, or is hauling haz-mat or 16+ passengers it is not subject to any of the cdl provisions. As a former cdl examiner I can guarantee this is the correct approach.
Keith explained it best with his breakdown of the logic behind why a tank endorsement would not be required. I only wish I had seen this thread back in 2018, when it was fresh, so I could have made sure the OP received the correct guidance.BoxCarKidd Thanks this.
