Is CDL w/Haz endorsement required for Class 9?

Just a guess on my part I would say you do need a Hazmat endorsement.

 

Does it require placards?

If not, you dont need hazmat.

If it does, Im pretty sure you need it for class 9.

 

Hazmat applies to anything reportable or requiring placards. It is possible for you to haul a LTL load that is not reportable.

 

As far as Ive been told, if it doesnt require placards, you dont need the hazmat endorsement.

Ive never had to worry about it, since Ive always had a hazmat endorsement. Do not take my word as law!

 

You gotta love it......50,000 pages and it always answers every question but the one you have.

(9) For Class 9, a CLASS 9 placard is not required for domestic transportation, including that portion of international transportation, defined in § 171.8 of this subchapter, which occurs within the United States.

What has been mentioned so far in this thread is correct. I just put the regulations here for you.

No placard REQUIRED, no HM endorsement REQUIRED.
