CDL · Hazardous materials
In most cases a shipper must certify that a hazardous materials package was prepared according to the rules. Which situation is an exception?
Correct answer: The shipper is moving its own product as a private carrier.
Answer options
- AThe shipper is moving its own product as a private carrier Correct
- BThe cargo area is sealed before the trip begins
- CThe shipment is made up of hazardous waste
Why
A signed shipper's certification is normally part of the original shipping paper. The exceptions are a private carrier that transports its own product and a package supplied by the carrier, such as a cargo tank; sealing the cargo area or shipping hazardous waste does not remove the requirement.
