Hazmat, and hauling diesel fuel?

over 119 gallons makes it bulk package [tank]

 

Yeah the 1,001 is for other types of hazardous material

 

The law states that any fuel amounts exceeding or equal to 119 gallons are subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations. This means that anyone who transports liquids (as listed in the hazardous materials table) in bulk containers with the capacity of 119 gallons or more must have a CDL with a hazmat endorsement, and if it's in a tanker, you must have a tanker endorsement, which combined gives you an "X" endorsement on your CDL Diesel fuels, either off road or on highway are a Class III combustible hazardous material which DO require placards.
There are exceptions, (the fuel tanks on your truck etc.).

 

Also, if you do not know the answer to your question, go back and read the book.
The answer, as I posted above, is very clear. All information re: that very clear answer is in the book.

 

Apparently there's some tanker endorsement required also for not just tanks.

Even totes requires it. I don't know remember the rules on that one. There was a discussion on here awhile back. I know I had some loads only assigned to me because I was the only driver in the company that had the endorsement.

 

A container that has a capacity of 119 gallons or more is a bulk container (as in tote) if used to haul hazmat and requires the X endorsement whether loaded or empty. You must have the X endorsement......and run the proper placards even if they are empty, (residue, vapors, etc,)

 

I was editing my post while you were posting the guidance. My brain is calibrated to think in terms of labels and placards still on the tote, and it being called "empty", while it still displays the hazmat label and placards. This being because we return the "empties" to be refilled and shipped out again and they do contain small amounts of hazardous materials, vapors, etc.(the vapors are extremely explosive, even more so than the liquid material). The guidance seems to be in conflict between the question 13 and question 14. It doesn't mention hazardous materials specifically as it does mention "any liquid or gaseous materials".
