Q&A: Can I ship half-full drum of hazardous materials?

A question from a member of our armed services (thanks for your service!) on August 28, 2018:

Can you ship half full 55 gallon drum?

My reply 11 minutes later:

Thank you for contacting me.

There is nothing in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) of the USDOT/PHMSA that forbids the shipment of a half-full packaging. It is OK to ship a half-full 55-gallon drum.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any other questions.
