Thank you. I ordered the flip placards. Will see about the loads once I'm set up. I take the test on Tuesday. I did the online required hazmat review course already, I also have done my background check just need the test. My dispatch says there are many hazmat loads for flatbed and they pay well. I will let you guys know if that is the case.
The placards need to be on all 4 sides of the trailer - this way - if you drop the trailer - you are still compliant! However - with that being said - yes - it is legal if it is on the tractor instead - just don't drop the trailer!

As a general rule, there is still at lease a 2% outage/residue left in liquid bulk. This generally requires placards, but could differ depending on the material. You must also remember that I've been retired for a few years & the rules could have changed. Check the 172 and 397 rules for confirmation.
There are many hazmat loads that need to be kept within a specified temperature range. Besides, you'd be surprised what is considered hazmat (fire extinguishers, soda syrup, etc) and what isn't (a truckload of automotive batteries) double yellow, Aug 2, 2014. #7. Aug 2, 2014 #8.
You might get a straight load of hazmat in small containers (Ex: oven cleaner in aerosol cans or bleach in small bottles, even batteries, starter fluid or quantities in small individual amounts)- that's ORMD. Basically, if placards are NOT required, no hazmat endorsement is required.
However, there are extenuating circumstances: I dropped a hazmat load in Greeley, CO when it was -5 degrees F. The placards were stick-on with glue swiped over them. I couldn't peel them off even with a putty knife, duct tape froze before it could stick to the trl and rattle-canned paint would even freeze before sticking.
209,357. Sep 19, 2005. Baltimore, MD. 0. Leave the placards on the trailer until you are empty, or simply until you unload the hazmat if it's a multiple drop load. The company may have problems with the local Fire Marshal if they see flammable placards on an empty trailer sitting against the dock. MACK E-6, May 20, 2008. #14. May 21, 2008 #15.
kemosabi49 said: ↑. The one on the left says "Flammable Liquids". One on the right says "Combustible Liquids". Difference between the two is the flash point on Flammables is 139 degrees or less. On Combustibles flashpoint is from 140 to 200 degrees. You can use the Flammable placards for Combustible on a truck.
