Empty placarded trailer on shipper's property.

Well ive picked up countless trl that were loaded with hazmat and had no placard on them. Thats driver job to placard them. And also got many mtys with placard from last load.

 

Is the issue who should remove the placards after unloading? I am a bit confused here. Are we talking vans?
My answer is : whoever will get in trouble first. On the road that will be the driver. In the yard that will be the company. Take your pick. Right?

 

Depends.... tank or van....?

 

This is what some stooge left me a few weeks ago.

Trailer was preloaded with a type of food when I got it.

Any, or each of those counts as an improperly placarded load if i pull it onto the street.

Just under an hour to scrape them off.

 

Cover it with duct tape ...... takes a minute and a half.....

 

Problem is shippers buy those gossamer thin vinyl placards. You can get them off with a heat gun, but who's got time to do that? And who has a heat gun anyway?

 

I don't know what they used to glue those on with. I used a paint scraper, and they came off in pieces about the size of fingernail clippings.

 

Your time is valuable. Time for the Mexican solution. Spray paint.

 

Got a can of that too.
