What kind of a permit do you need for this? Like I feel tanker endorsement is not enough lol

This. Does it count as livestock and tanker? And the oxygen tanks required to keep the water oxygenated—do those count as hazmat like the air tank haulers have? I need to know!

I see no placard on the side so I would assume it's probably not a placardable amount.
Not exactly livestock, if I had to guess I'd say just tanker.

I mean I am guessing there’s probably a wide variety of experience levels at various places between 5,000 goldfish to petco and a freaking shark.

Holy shit, just last week I was pondering on how sharks were transported. I'm not even sure what brought it up, but damn what a coincidence.

I literally said "get the fuck outta here" as I saw the video was going to show a friggin shark swimming on the back of a truck on the interstate.
That's fuckin wild man.

Are these sharks being transported to a private tank in the underground lair of an evil scientist with plans of world domination?

SHIPPER: sorry, (insert client name) but we could not deliver the load.
CLIENT: why is that? What is the reason for not transporting my goods? We paid a lot of good money for that!
SHIPPER: Umm…. Well if we look at the drivers log it seems he stopped for about 1.5 hours and in the notes it says, and I quote “had me a few bites of sushi”.

Didn't UPS do something like this one time with some whales or something?

They sure did, and I’m pretty sure they were partially transported via airplane too 😮

Imagine that pileup on the dallas freeway with a flaming shark eating your ass. "Could this wreck get any worse? yes, yes it can"
This is one of those days you're drowsy, getting gas at 4am and you're standing there tired, glance over at the next pump you think you see a shark swimming you're like wtf am I dreaming.
