Where must shipping papers be kept when transporting hazardous materials?

• A. In the glove box
• B. In a pouch on the driver's door or on the seat
• C. On the dashboard
• D. In the trunk

Answer: (B)

Shipping papers must be readily accessible to the driver during transit so you can quickly read them or show them to authorities if needed without stopping. The best place is in a pouch on the driver's door or on the seat because it keeps the papers within easy reach inside the cab, protected from damage, and ready for immediate use. Keeping them in the glove box is workable but not as ideal for fast access. Placing them on the dashboard can expose them to glare or heat and obstruct your view. Storing them in the trunk makes them inaccessible when you’re driving or under inspection. So, the pouch on the driver's door or on the seat is the correct location.
