You are hauling 1,001 pounds of flammable material plus one 2-liter bottle of poison in the same trailer. What placards must you display?

Answer options

Why

The 1,001 pounds of flammable material brings the Placard Table 2 total to the 1,001-pound threshold, so each Table 2 class on board must be placarded, the poison included. A poison that is an inhalation hazard would need its placard in any amount anyway, so the small size of the bottle does not remove the poison placard.
