    Wait till you go for your fingerprints. Some agencies make you pay separately for that too. My local Sheriffs office did it same day, FREE.

    The background is black so the letters would have to be white
    I'm just running with the generic class 8
    Thanks

    You can REFUSE load. In fact you should have.
    Shipper is REQUIRED to supply placards. By LAW.
    But yes appropriate placard is straight 8, only ever use numbers if hauling in bulk totes (those 4x4x4 plastic tanks in metal frames, or if you're hauling a tanker) But then you also need a tank endorsement.

    The last time I did mine, it came down to the last question, and thank God it was something like " Does 400 pounds of class 1 division 1 need to be placarded. "
    Just passed. Cause if you fail, you have to wait 24 hours to retest lol.
