Texas/New Mexico Stateline | I use this guide. It goes into what farmers are required to do etc. If I read it right page 16 if it is over 502 gallons you do have to have hazmat training/endorsement. Shipping papers are basic info about the product you could keep on a clipboard on the dash of the vehicle. (I don't, and won't unless they start hassling us about it) I have a copy of this pdf saved on my computer for quick refrence.

This shipping paper must be carried at all times and must be within reach of the driver or in view for someone else entering the driver compartment. It must also be carried separate from other papers,
tabbed or otherwise marked so it stands out from the rest of the papers.
