* No more than 90 pounds total in an enclosed vehicle. (Car, SUV, Van).
* No more than 45 pounds in a single cylinder in an enclosed vehicle. (Car, SUV, Van).
* Up to 1,000 pounds in an open bed pickup truck or trailer. (Has to be open, not enclosed).
* No special driver license needed, just a regular driver license.
In addition to DOT regulations:
* Most places will only fill a 100 pound cylinder if it is in a secure and upright position. Tied down with rope or strapped in the pickup bed. Not unsecured and rolling/moving around.
So, to haul around a 100 pound tank; just need a regular driver license, a pickup truck or open trailer, and some kind of way to secure the tank.
I made a simple brace for my truck out of 2x4s that secured the bottom of the tank. I use four straps to secure the top.

Plenty of people giving away tanks on marketplace or BN, I get them, trade them in via BR for $20, get a good tank and 15 lb of propane, then just refill at BJs $15 for 20 lb. Sure beats buying brand new tanks for $50.

Where I am, it is impossible to get a good non-expired cylinder from Blue Rhino. They are all WAY EXPIRED, like 20+ year old tanks with a fresh coat of paint. So can't refill them, can only get into the viscous cycle of continually trading them back in. Which is probably what they want. Still don't know how Blue Rhino is allowed to do this, there must be some kind of loop-hole that allows then to keep refilling their own expired cylinders. And where I'm at, it's $24 for Blue Rhino.

I have the 100 gallon hooked up to my grill so no way a smaller tank can't handle the pressure.

My place refills for much lower than what Lowe's/HD/etc charge for those exchanges... Plus, I'm way more confident in the quality/state of the tanks my local place sells than the junk those blue rhino exchange lockers typically carry - they have so much junk specifically because of people doing what you're suggesting lol
