Fedaral code of motor vehicle regulations for commercial vehicles is one thing, but Fed DOT regulations are further reaching. If you read into DOT regs, you will find requirements for such things as height and aim of headlights for all vehicles as well as reflectivity of reflectors. ( I work for Honda, just had a Stop Sale notice on certain units because of a reflector that didn't reflect light to the degree as required by DOT. I know this doesn't particularly pertain to the original post question, but demonstrates DOT laws apply to all.) Don't want to debate you on this, but you can't ignore DOT regulations regarding transportation whether your in an 18 wheeler or a Prius.I assume you're looking at DOT regulations?
Those are for "in commerce" transportation, not personal.
As to the 1" thickness it is either for sturdiness or for burn through time.
I decided to break it down between 2 vehicles and multiple trips. It was easier that way.You had better not post placards unless you are absolutely sure it is required. Running a vehicle down the road with improper placards displayed is just as illegal as not running with them at all. Arguing with Law Enforcement on the side of the road over who's right will get you in a heap of trouble. Due diligence on your part is correct answer. Ignorance of the law is not. Don't ask how I know! You can certainly call local office of state police and speak with DOT enforcement to get the procedure if you plan on hauling large quantity.

I used milk crates 24 pounds fit nicely.Old foot lockers, quilt trunks, pie safes and other such old country style storage are ideal: wood, vented, made for easy transport and inexpensive. Most foot lockers and pie safes are also lockable.
As I read it. You still have >20#'s per residence so need a wooden box (or two).Only asking a legitimate ? here.....
What if a person had 20 lbs or less, stored in 2 separate locations in the house...( say 2 places with 20 lbs each )...?
Yes I do. I think it's time for a dehumidifier and a root cellar/storm shelter.As I read it. You still have >20#'s per residence so need a wooden box (or two).

But I'm confused on how a wooden box is going to provide serious protection from a car fire etc.
