CDL · Hazardous materials
Shippers normally have to certify in writing that a hazardous materials package was prepared by the rules. What is the one situation in which that certification is not required?
Correct answer: When the shipper is a private carrier moving its own product.
Answer options
- AWhen everything in the shipment is classed as hazardous waste
- BWhen the shipper is a private carrier moving its own product Correct
- CWhen the entire trip begins and ends within a single state
Why
Certification is excused when a shipper acts as a private carrier and hauls its own product. That exception never covers hazardous waste, and keeping a trip within one state does not remove the requirement.
