CDL · Hazardous materials
What could reveal that a load you are hauling contains hazardous materials?
Correct answer: Diamond-shaped labels on the packages and the hazard class on the shipping paper.
Answer options
- AOnly the hazard class on the shipping paper, never the labels on the packages
- BDiamond-shaped labels on the packages and the hazard class on the shipping paper Correct
- COnly diamond-shaped labels on the packages, never anything on the shipping paper
Why
Shippers communicate the risk in several ways, so both a hazard class entered on the shipping paper and a diamond label on a package are signs of hazardous cargo. Relying on just one of them could cause you to miss the danger.
