If you don't have a hazmat endorsement, up to 1,000 lbs.
Up to 1000 lbs. before a hazmat endorsement is required.
Up to 1000 lbs. before a CDL and hazmat endorsement is required.
A 1/4 ton pickup. Vehicles carrying any quantity of hazmat which requires placards to be displayed require the driver to have a CDL and hazmat endorsement.
Not unless you're hauling something such as contaminated soil, which requires a hazmat endorsement.
I'm having a hard time finding any regulation which directly addresses this, but when I look at the criteria for such job postings, none of them are requiring applicants to have a hazmat endorsement.
In the U.S., you can transport up to 119 gallons of diesel fuel in a truck without a CDL or hazmat endorsement if the total weight is under 1,000 pounds. This falls under the "small quantity exception" in federal regulations. It's essential to check local regulations as they may vary.
Depends on the GVWR of the vehicle. 26,000 lbs. or less, and the answer is no (unless you're hauling something which requires a hazmat endorsement, such as contaminated soil). GVWR of more than 26,000 lbs, and the answer is yes.
If you're carrying quantities of oxyacetylene and oxygen which require the display of placards, and/or the vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs., then yes you do. If it's under 26,000 lbs. GVWR and you must show hazmat placards for oxygen and acetylene, you need at least a Class C CDL with a hazmat endorsement. If you're not carrying those commodities in a quantity which requires placarding, you don't need a CDL. If the vehicle is a single vehicle or combination of over 26,000 lbs. GVWR/GCWR, and there is no trailer or a trailer in tow is under 10,000 lbs. GVWR, then you'll need a Class B CDL (with hazmat endorsement if applicable). If the vehicle is a combination with a higher than 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and the trailer in tow has a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs., a Class A CDL is required (with hazmat endorsement if applicable).
You can get a CDL, but you can't get a hazmat endorsement. Felonies aren't like traffic tickets - they stay with you for life. No matter how long ago it was, you'll always have that felony conviction appear whenever a background check is done on you.

Yes, and I have done exactly that, and in NC, to boot. If you haven't seen it, it's because most companies prefer instead to send another truck to pick up the trailer instead of having the trailer towed, as well as not wanting to pay the additional costs of having the trailer towed with the truck. Restrictions are present, of course. For example, the tow truck driver must have all necessary endorsements. For example, if a vehicle pulling a tanker full of hazardous chemicals had to be towed, that tow truck driver would need a Hazmat endorsement and a tanker endorsement (in NC, the two endorsements together are an "X" endorsement, although some states show separate "H" and "K" endorsements for hazmat and tanker, respectively. Another thing tow truck drivers in NC need to be wary of is low tonnage roads, particularly in the Raleigh-Durham area. The weight limit on these roads is 6-1/2 tons per axle, and the fines for violations of this are very steep.
