    I recently applied to Herc Rentals. On their requirements they list hazmat and tanker required. I don't have them but I applied anyways and said I could acquire them within 120 days. My question is what would I even need them for? To my understanding herc rentals is an industrial equipment rental agency and the equipment is hauled on flatbed which I have experience in. Why the requirement for an X endorsement?

    They may haul extra propane tanks for rental equipment.

    Why not ask Herc?

    Maybe it's because of the diesel in the equipment's fuel tanks?
