[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 1125960, member: 709"] No rocket engineering degree required, but considering Dangerous Goods(not hazmat) trained employees are responsible to make sure that the company and its couriers are up to date on following protocol which is enforced by the FAA, simple errors can cost the company 10's of thousands of dollars. FedEx takes the DG position seriously enough to invest in yearly training for all DG agents. So it is a little more than reading a handout sir. is it difficult? maybe seeing how many couriers miss items daily, that is why we have DG agents at STA then more at the RAMPs As far as Placarding, they really are a waste on Express Vehicles I've only had to placard once or twice in the last 10 years, for YellowIII(radioactive) and "dangerous when wet" you don't have to placard unless you have over 1000lbs of any other class.. And if you have to Placard you have to have a CDL with endorsements, which for Ground drivers is not a requirement.(AFAIK) [/QUOTE]
