I would like to address an issue of transporting SH 12.5%. As far as I know, as per DOT, person with regular Texas driver licence is allowed to transport less than 1000 lbs, which is approximately equates to 2 - 55 drums.
Therefore, if you haul more than 110 gallons of bleach without Hazmat license, you may be fined by DOT. (CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG0

I spoke to Neal at U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) last week to get some clarification on some other matters and you are correct, as has been stated here many times by AC and others, 1000 lbs or approx. 2 drums. Once someone is over 1001 lbs then they will also need placards.
As I read the regs., once the placards go on the yes, they will need the CDL and a Haz Mat endorsement.

See 49 CFR, Part 172, Subpart F, for complete placarding regulations.
• Each person who offers for transportation or transports any hazardous material subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations must comply with all applicable requirements of Subpart F [§172.500]. • Placards may be displayed for a hazardous material, even when not required, if the placarding otherwise conforms to the requirements of Subpart F of Part 172 [§172.502(c)]. • For other than Class 7 or the DANGEROUS placard, text indicating a hazard (e.g., “FLAMMABLE”) is not required. Text may be omitted from the OXYGEN placard only if the specific ID number is displayed on the placard [§172.519(b)(3)]. • For a placard corresponding to the primary or subsidiary hazard class of a material, the hazard class or division number must be displayed in the lower corner of the placard. • Any bulk packaging, freight container, unit load device, transport vehicle or rail car containing any quantity of material listed in Table 1 must be placarded [§172.504]. • When the aggregate gross weight of all hazardous materials in non-bulk packages covered in Table 2 is less than 454 kg (1,001 lbs), no placard is required on a transport vehicle or freight container when tranpsorted by highway or rail [§172.504(c)]. • Notes: See §172.504(f)(10) for placarding Division 6.1, PG III materials. • Placarded loads require registration with USDOT.

a real simple solution is to have portable totes delivered and filled on the job site. i just completed 2 jobs where this was the method we used. If you run into the problem of not having a place to put them on the job site, you can rent an on site container for 60 dollars. Alot cheaper solution than some that are being offered.
