Do you need tanker endorsement to haul totes full of liquid?

If the following conditions occur, you are responsible for obtaining a tanker endorsement on your CDL: Your cargo includes liquid or gaseous individual containers larger than 119 gallon capacity. The containers are loaded, and not empty. The total combined volume in those containers exceeds 1,000 gallons.

Not sure about the ticket cost. But no point in putting your career in jeopardy.

 

It requires a tanker endorsement. Surprised the place you picked up did not ask for it as most places do.

 

It's a huge fine in California, even more so if the cargo is HazMat. In your case it would go directly to you.

I would tell your company. They shouldn't be sending you to do a load that you don't have the right endorsement for.

I did a load a while back like that for a broker. It was non hazmat but I did have to have the right endorsement and he let me know that before I took the load.

 

If it had been HazMat the shipper would have given you placards and haz-mat bills. Unless he's a total outlaw most hazmat shippers play it straight.

 

Tanker endorsement test was very simple. Not sure if you have time to take it. Honestly probably best to cancel the load.
