ps: Tom HAD HZ with FX ... (HAD to.) Still does. Just wondering if the OP signed on with a contractor, like Tom did. He pretty much got thrown to the wolves, but HAD driven for USX & Transport America, prior.

Good observation. (I've 'HEARD' that PFG is running LH ... at least in New England area. I'm really scrimping to think.) Thanks for your input, man. We had ZERO probs with FX/LH when Tom was there, either. Dang tanker dude stole him away. Saunders, LLC ..gone, now.. but his 'own' rig. Sheesh.
I'm seriously hoping Eric will answer, but not holding my breath. Hell, I don't even DRIVE but .. the stuff he asks, is seriously something that HE should've learned, imho.
Thanks, Banks....

For a company driver, all of the specific securement and placarding of HAZMAT should have been covered with your trainer.
As for all of the paperwork, that should all be in your permits binder. I have always stowed mine in the driver's door side pocket.
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations
Maybe he’s thinking about becoming an O/O . Otherwise, his company should answer all his compliance questions or he needs to research the answers himself.
