The main concern commercial drivers should have when transporting dry bulk cargo tanks is:
  1. The contents of the shipment
  2. Dry bulk tanks often have a high center of gravity.
  3. Dry bulk tanks are often packaged overweight.
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - When transporting dry bulk tank shipments, drivers must be aware of the cargo's center of gravity. In many cases, dry bulk tanks will have a high center of gravity that makes the trailer prone to rolling over. This is especially true if drivers take curves or turns too fast. In addition, these types of loads can easily shift, causing a variety of problems for drivers. Driving slowly on curves is the best way to prevent problems when carrying dry bulk tanks.
