Do I need a hazmat endorsement to Haul crude oil in Vacuum truck?

Yes, you need a hazmat endorsement to haul crude oil in a vacuum truck. Crude oil is classified as a hazardous material by the Department of Transportation (DOT), and therefore requires a hazmat endorsement in order to transport it. The hazmat endorsement is a specialized certification that demonstrates that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to safely transport hazardous materials. To obtain a hazmat endorsement, you must pass a written exam and a background check. You must also have a valid commercial driver's license (CDL).
