Safety First.

At Gulf Winds, safety is our top priority. B.E.S.T. – BE faithful to operating Safely Together is the standard by which we operate.

When there is a bladder in a container & hauling liquid.
When there are totes or containers larger than 119 gallons individually.
Per FMCSA – a tank vehicle means any commercial motor vehicle that is designed to transport any liquid or gaseous material within a tank or tanks having an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or the chassis.

Class 9 Placards & HazMat Endorsements are needed when:

A CDL license with HAZMAT endorsement is only required when placards are required. 
Permissive placarding does not require the driver to have a CDL or Hazmat Endorsement. Permissive placarding is used to communicate the HM being transported and the vehicle must be placarded correctly. For Class 9 shipments, a CDL and/or Hazmat endorsement is not required.
The vehicle or container does not require Class 9 Miscellaneous placards, no matter the quantity.
The HazMat endorsement on the CDL is not required.
Despite the above, the drivers are still transporting a hazardous material (unless it is fixed in a binder) and therefore require HazMat training every three years.
