How to figure out type of placard needed.

no offense wave but you seem a little too wound up to drive a truck let alone pull haz mat

i am still pretty new here and no doubt you will blow me off but i have already pulled several haz mat loads with great success and dude--it is not as complicated as you are spinning it, you are frightening the children and the horses, this is not advanced placement chem class

all you need to be able to do is follow your shipper's directions because he is your boss, you can always look at the shipper paperwork and compare to the two hmr tables if that floats your boat but you don't get brownie points for that, even double checking your shipper is working hard not smart because someone has already triple checked it

you have no say in the matter, you merely move the load safely and timely from point a to point b, it will likely be sealed so you won't have access to it, the load is not yours it belongs to the shipper, they alone are responsible for the placards
