    Since that trainee #### on my drivers seat and my bed do I need hazmat placards? Also should the company be paying me more since it’s a hazmat load?

    Since there are pathogens and it's highly flammable you could get by placarding for Dangerous. However, the question becomes was there more than 1001 lbs of hazmat? If it was less than that, then there is no requirement for placards or hazmat endorsement.

    An easy way to measure 1001 lbs is to remember it's 5,674 mouth fulls.

    I wonder if it took 1001 pounds of dispatchers to make my load arrangement work in some way. Always having to fix their errors.
