The only combustible placard you need is bulk . And yes shipper should provide them
-
Out of curiosity (not trying to be difficult), I see on the FMCSA website that they don't seem to show the Combustible placard as having that white bottom corner.
Also, what do you guys make of DOT § 172.504(f)(2)?
I appreciate the replies!

First off combustible is a US designation and it is going away.
It is permissible to 'overplacard' a combustible w/ a flammable.
When Krajack ran 8 cmpts and several were combustible, the were identified down the sides and we had generic flammables front & rear.
I used to have the letter from PA apologising for a rookie haz mat trooper who thought other wise.
Here is part of 172.504:
(2) A FLAMMABLE placard may be used in place of a COMBUSTIBLE placard on
(i) A cargo tank or portable tank.
(ii) A compartmented tank car which contains both flammable and combustible liquids.
The op's 275 gal totes should fit in here too. -
