I can't tell you how many e-mail I sent the safety dept about hazmat issue. So many that I don't even get a reply. Hell I even have a file on my computer called Hazmat fu*ck ups
The part that it went 500 miles without placards on it on tell me that the driver did not do a pre-trip inspection. Yes the person loading it didn't do it, but if the driver pulled his head out of his azz it could have been caught at it's origin. If I get a trailer that any barn including a FAC that doesn't have placard I put it O/S. I did not loaded it. It is my job to make sure the correct placards are on it, NOT to placard it. If you require me to placard it then I want to see the LOI for the employee that loaded it and for the supervisor that closed the trailer. If not then it's O/S until it is fixed. I tired of these lazy fu#ks not doing there job and having to fix it for them with no recourse.
