You placard by the greatest quantity and hazard.
You must be doing LTL? -
actually no, all trailer load. However, many loads require multiple placards. Most of my loads are mixed between class 3, 5.1 and 8... all depends on what is ordered. I get lucky occasionally and it's all one class but not often.

advice to all...always sit down with a pen & paper tally your weights & placard your own load. Never trust the shipper the hand you the correct placards. Add it up then request the proper placards (if needed). -
If not you had better be on the horn to your company.Last edited by a moderator: May 5, 2021

It is up to the driver to make sure the placards match the BOL. And the load is secure. -
I can't remember what the chemical was now but it was in 80 drums.
It's the only load I have ever hauled like that. But, even the shipper was a little wrong. Over-think and question everything... yes, I am that pain in the ### guy until I am satisfied it is correct - EVERY TIME.
