Quote From The CDL Manual:
Cargo tanks and other bulk containers require additional markings on the transport vehicle. "Bulk" is defined as a packaging with a maximum capacity greater than 119 gallons for liquid, including but not limited to such packagings as portable tanks, cargo tanks and tank cars. If required identification number markings on bulk containers are not visible while being transported (such as when loaded inside a closed semitrailer), the transport vehicle itself must also display on each side and each end the required identification number markings.

Quote From The CDL Manual:
When the shipper packages hazardous materials, he/she certifies that the package has been prepared according to the rules. The signed shipper's certification appears on the original shipping paper. The only exceptions are when a shipper is a private carrier transporting their own product, and when the package is provided by the carrier (e.g., a cargo tank). Unless a package is clearly unsafe or does not comply with the HMR, you may accept the shipper's certification concerning proper packaging. Some carriers have additional rules about transporting hazardous products. Follow your employer's rules when accepting shipments.

Shippers print required markings directly on the package, an attached label or tag. An important package marking is the name of the hazardous material. It is the same name as the one on the shipping paper. When required, the shipper will put the following on the package:
- Name and address of shipper or consignee.
- Hazardous material's shipping name and ID number.
- Required labels.
- ID number on bulk packages.
- Be marked on each side and each end with the identification number for that product
- Be marked on each side with the identification number for that product
- Be marked on each side and each end with the proper shipping name
- Be marked on each end with the proper shipping name for that product
Quote From The CDL Manual:
A transport vehicle or freight container that contains 8,820 pounds (4,000 kg) or more non-bulk packages of a single hazardous material must be marked on each side and each end with the identification number for that product. The hazardous material must have the same proper shipping name and identification number and be loaded at one facility. The transport vehicle or freight container must contain no other material, hazardous or otherwise. The identification number may be displayed on the placard, an orange panel or white square on point device.
