The CDL rules for tanker definition is changing. This may effect some of you so thought I would post it.
The old rules were pretty simple. A tank had to be single tank of 1000 gallons to require the tanker endorsement. So you could haul 2000 gallons around on a trailer as long as you had say four 500 gallon tanks and not need a tanker endorsement.
This is no longer the case for the new rules. Now they are calling what the DOT calls "bulk containers" Tanks. So if you have containers of 119 gallons or more (includes IBC totes) and you have enough of them to add up to 1000 gallons you will need a tank endorsement. You can still haul 2000 gallons around on a trailer in 55 gallon drums and not need a tank endorsement BUT......... If you have 10 totes of 119 gallons each OR 4 totes of 250 gallons each you will now need a tank endorsement on your CDL.
While the farmer no CDL rules still apply if you do have a CDL and a spray rig supply trailer with several small tanks on it you are now gona need a tank endorsement.
While this rule is several years old they do not usually enforce it till the compliance date 3 years after the rule goes into effect to give everyone time to comply. The compliance date is July 8, 2014.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
