  2. B Division 2.1 and Classes 3, 4, and 7
  3. C Class 1, Division 2.1, and Classes 3, 4, and 5
  4. D Classes 2, 3, 4, and 5

Correct answer: C – Class 1, Division 2.1, and Classes 3, 4, and 5

Smoking is forbidden on or around a vehicle while loading or unloading Class 1 explosives, Division 2.1 flammable gas, Class 3 flammable liquids, Class 4 flammable solids, or Class 5 oxidizers.

Question 2

How far from an open fire must a motor vehicle carrying hazardous materials be parked?

  1. A At least 10 feet
  2. B At least 50 feet
  3. C At least 100 feet
  4. D At least 300 feet

Correct answer: D – At least 300 feet

A motor vehicle containing hazardous materials must not be parked within 300 feet of an open fire. A driver may operate near an open fire only after determining that the vehicle can pass safely without stopping. The Utah handbook presents the same 300-foot parking restriction for hazardous-material vehicles.

Question 3

For most commercial drivers, medical certification may remain current for no more than:

  1. A 12 months
  2. B 24 months
  3. C 36 months
  4. D 60 months

Correct answer: B – 24 months

Federal driver-qualification rules generally require a driver to have been medically examined and certified within the preceding 24 months. Certain drivers, including some with insulin-treated diabetes or a qualifying vision condition, must be examined at least every 12 months. A new examination is also required when an injury or illness impairs the driver’s ability to perform normal duties.

Question 4

Division 1.1 or 1.2 explosives may not be carried in a vehicle combination that includes:

  1. A A cargo tank required to be marked or placarded
  2. B Exactly two cargo-carrying vehicles
  3. C A full trailer with a 200-inch wheelbase
  4. D A tractor equipped with air brakes

Correct answer: A – A cargo tank required to be marked or placarded

A vehicle or combination carrying Division 1.1 or 1.2 explosives may not include a cargo tank that is required to be marked or placarded. This is one of several restrictions applying to combinations carrying these explosives. Drivers must verify the entire combination and its other cargo before accepting the shipment.

Question 5

Which shipper-provided item directly warns handlers about the hazard presented by a package?

  1. A A hazard warning label on the package
  2. B The shipment’s total weight
  3. C The delivery address
  4. D The carrier’s insurance information

Correct answer: A – A hazard warning label on the package

Shippers place hazard warning labels on most hazardous-material packages. The label identifies the type of hazard to people who handle or encounter the package. Shipping papers are separate documents that provide the regulated description and other required information, while placards communicate hazards on the outside of vehicles and bulk packages.

Question 6

Which item is not one of the three principal lists used to identify regulated hazardous materials?

  1. A The Hazardous Materials Table
  2. B An EPA dangerous materials list
  3. C The List of Marine Pollutants
  4. D The List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities

Correct answer: B – An EPA dangerous materials list

The three lists identified in the Utah handbook are the Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR 172.101, Appendix A’s List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities, and Appendix B’s List of Marine Pollutants. There is no list called the “EPA dangerous materials list” among these three resources. A material may appear on one or more of the actual lists.
