I just saw a Rolls safety data sheet for their FLA batteries that has a section discussing transport requirements and precautions. It is on their website.

Do we need to be DOT approved/ registered? This seems like a special case, since regular shipping companies do not deliver to these remote areas. The regulations etc are amazingly daunting. In the past, I've considered it a case of a contractor transporting building materials to the job site. We're not a carrier, that delivers packages for others for a living. We have rented a truck with a DOT# when we need something over the 10,000 lb gross vehicle limit, like a 1 ton truck. I'm hoping that would be adequate. Thanks in advance for your advice, -- R.
