Lets see if we can clear the air and try and separate fact from I think I know or I heard.
First I will show you a piece of paper. This is a license to haul hazardous materials.
Without this piece of paper no one and I mean no one can haul hazardous materials on the highway unless you have a exemption. I do not care if it is 1 ounce; 1 pound; or 1 cubic inch. You must either have this piece of paper or a exemption to haul any hazardous materials.
You may hear people mention placards; it's for personal use; it's under 1000 pounds; it's less than 119 gallons; and the list goes on. Plain and simple if any one brings up any of these things they do not know hazardous materials laws because while some are real hazardous materials rules they do not apply to the general public.
So we are going to assume no one on this site has this piece of paper. So that means you need a exemption. There are 4 exemptions I can think of.
1) is a exemption for farmers. I am not schooled on farmers exemptions so I will leave this alone but I can tell you it only applies from the barn to the field; or the supplier to the field.
2) would be explosives. This is a exemption for fireworks a few weeks before July 4th and New Years to allow people to but fireworks.
3) would be combustible liquids. This is diesel fuel. The DOT does not regulate combustibles in containers smaller than 119 gallons. So diesel fuel is not considered hazardous materials in containers less than 119 gallons.
4) would be Material of Trade. (MOT) I will post a link to a MOT brochure.
So if we leave out Diesel; farmers do their job; and fireworks the only exemption the general public has is MOT. Under MOT rules the general public can only haul a total of 440 pounds of hazardous materials. There are also container size rules. Lets look at a couple. You can find these rules in the link if you need proof.
Gasoline is a class 3 packing group III product. So under the rules the container must be 8 gallons or less.
Propane is a class 2.1 hazardous material. Under the rules the container can only be 220 pounds.
Oxygen and Acetylene tanks are a class 2.2 Under the rules the container can only be 220 pounds.
So plain and simple if the general public wants to haul and hazardous materials they must either find it on the brochure in the link or it is illegal to haul it.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
