You don’t need it for those. I believe it’s not required until you get up to those 250 gallon totes.

Effective in all states as of July 8, 2015, shippers moving contained liquids in dry van trailers and intermodal containers must comply with tanker endorsement regulations.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) redefined what is considered to be a tank in a 2011 rule and for the first time included capacity requirements. Under the rule, a tank is:
- “Any commercial vehicle that is designed to transport any liquid or gaseous material within a tank or tanks having an individual rate capacity of more than 119 gallons,” and
- “An aggregated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or chassis.” Tanks that are manifested either as being “Empty” or as “Residue Last Contained” on a bill of lading do not apply under the rule.

I want 4600 gallons of whiskey.
ChicagoJohn, RoadRooster and austinmike Thank this. -
Also some states if hauling say Seagrams into Baltimore via container etc you will be provided a copy of the Alcohol permit suitable for the load.
If it's bottles on pallets in a van trailer, no you are not a tanker. See Post number 4. -
