CDL · Hazardous materials
When a carrier assigns a driver to haul Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosives, what must the carrier hand that driver?
Correct answer: A copy of Part 397 of the FMCSRs.
Answer options
- AA list of approved fuel stops on the route
- BA second fire extinguisher for the cab
- CA copy of Part 397 of the FMCSRs Correct
Why
The carrier has to supply each driver of these explosives with a copy of Part 397, which sets out the driving and parking rules for hazardous materials, plus written instructions for handling an accident or delay. A spare extinguisher or a list of fuel stops is not part of that requirement.
