I'm Puzzled With Answer On Sample Hazmat Test
Topic 3569 | Page 1
Mark, occasionally some one will find an error in the High Road Training Program, and I know that Brett appreciates it when someone does. More often than not though it is usually a misunderstanding or a misreading of the question that causes the confusion. I tried to look up the question you referenced, but couldn't manage to find it. I don't know if the system allows it or not, but if you can, would you mind copying and pasting it into the forum. I know once before I tried to help out a person with a question and it turned out that he was misquoting the question because he was misreading it. Hopefully we can help you get to the bottom of this.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Those types of questions are the most difficult and they do appear on the test. Because they're are so many rules and so many different types of materials, it is hard to keep it straight in your head. Fortunately we do not have to remember it all because in real life we have reference materials and we can ask questions. Thank God for that!!!
Here is the question, cut and pasted......
10. Your load includes 20 pounds of division 2.3 gas and .1001 pounds of flammable gas. What placard do you need?
A. Flammable B. Explosive C. Poison
B. Explosive
I told you this is a tough test. Know the rules about flammable gases.

⊟ Answer
B. Explosive

I am stumped. Should the question read 1,001 pounds instead of .1001 pounds and I have looked back at the information on the site and I do not see how B would be the answer. Would someone explain please. thanks,
