You are not endorsed to haul hazardous materials but are asked to move a placarded load a short distance. What should you do?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 27 (General Knowledge): Decline, since operating a placarded load requires the hazmat endorsement regardless of distance
