Some of them got it right. Diesel is a class 3 combustible. It only requires placards and a CDL with a haz-mat endorsement in bulk containers. The DOT considers anything 110 gallons or more a bulk container.

The reason these rules apply to tanks in a pickup bed or small trailer and not to saddle tanks on a big truck is ……………… The big truck is known to have saddle tanks and any firemen coming to the scene of a big truck accident will know this in advance. A fireman going to a pickup accident will not expect to find large amounts of diesel fuel in the bed of the truck.
