CDL · Hazardous materials
Which of these, if it is part of a combination vehicle, makes it illegal to haul Division 1.1 or 1.2 explosives in that rig?
Correct answer: A cargo tank that is placarded.
Answer options
- AA cargo tank that is placarded Correct
- BA second trailer, as in a set of doubles
- CA full trailer with a 200-inch wheelbase
Why
Federal loading rules forbid carrying Division 1.1 or 1.2 explosives in any combination that also includes a placarded cargo tank, because trouble with either load could quickly involve the other. Doubles and a full trailer with a 200-inch wheelbase are not on the prohibited list, though triples are.
