I ran into a curious situation today.
I picked a class 7 hazmat shipment weighing about 100 lbs. This box was labeled as "yellow no. 2" so by itself it doesn't require placards. I did have roughly 2600 lbs of class 8 on board already, so my question is this.
Did the class 7 shipment that alone didn't require placards trigger the need for a "dangerous" placard as part of a mixed load?

You are asking internet experts? God help you. Personally, I don't know. I got out of that years ago.

What did the shipper give you? They are supposed to give you the Placards for the loads.

We now have an answer to this little conundrum.
According to what I was told today, my suspicions were correct regarding my use of the "dangerous" placard here, but only because the class 8 freight didn't consist of bulk containers. Apparently bulk containers don't count towards the aggregate total, so if I'd had those, only the ID placard for the class 8 would have been necessary, and nothing for the class 7 in this case.misterG Thanks this. -
Always double check the placards the shipper gives you. It's one thing to say it's the shipper's responsibility. But it's going to be you standing in that weigh station.Ryan423 Thanks this. -
