[QUOTE="pickup, post: 503399"] there's no way they could get away with transporting hazmat on a consistent basis without placards or hazmat endorsed drivers pulling them. I am going to assume these were 55 gallon drums weighing on average about 500 pounds each loaded. That would come out to 10 drums (2 and 1/2 pallets )for the flammables and obviously 30 drums for the poison (7 1/2 pallets) If shipped to the same company, probably on 10 pallets. that would take up about 1/2 of a 45 foot trailer. That is pretty common for an ltl company that pulls hazmat. By the way, based on the weights and the substances, this would require a poison placard(class 2) and a flammable placard (class 3). I still keep my hazmat endorsement on my license even though I don't need it so I am still familiar with the rules. I don't believe the trailers have to be placarded on private property, only just before the driver hits the road with the proper paperwork. I also don't believe that the any driver, including the yard jockey have to have a hazmat endorsement while pulling on private property [/QUOTE]
