CDL · Hazardous materials
If the cargo you are carrying is Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosives, what must you do?
Correct answer: Carry a written route plan and follow it.
Answer options
- ACollect the explosives only at your employer's terminal
- BCarry a written route plan and follow it Correct
- CUse only state highways
Why
Explosives in Divisions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 must travel under a written route plan, which the carrier usually draws up ahead of time and gives to the driver. A driver who picks up the explosives somewhere other than the employer's terminal may write out the plan beforehand.
