    I can’t find a good place on the trailer. Either it will obstruct the drive tires or it will prevent me from having front overhang on other loads

    I picked up my first hazmat load of paint today in Denver and I am taking it to Seattle. Pay was about 75 cents more per mile. The only thing I am worried about is the individual states that might require permits. For instance at the Colorado weigh station I had to pay $25 for a temporary 3 day permit. The officer was nice to me and didn’t charge me the $300 fine. I will see tomorrow morning what the company I’m leased on has to say about this.

    Had to tarp the load and in 75 mile wind gusts one of the tarps got a rip. Should’ve thrown straps over the tarps

    Does anyone have a list of which states require their own hazmat permit?

    Especially poly tarps you really have to strap them securely to minimize the wind tearing them up.

    Does anyone know which flip card placard is most commonly used for flatbed and stepdeck? I seen a 8, 10 and 15. But don’t want to get one that doesn’t use most the placards. Also was looking at the one with the numbers in the middle.
