# Shipping paper

A term used when buying courier and delivery.

The hazardous materials document a driver has to keep within reach of the driver's seat.

Small freight vehicle floor establishes that a van under 10,001 pounds sits below the federal filing trucking runs on. The hazardous materials rules are the second body of federal law that draws no weight line, and the moment a courier accepts a customer's hazmat it is inside them. The paper must be within immediate reach while the driver is belted, and either visible to someone entering the cab or in a holder on the driver's door. Copies are kept a year, three for hazardous waste. An owner who says the business does not touch hazmat is usually describing the exceptions, which are narrow: a specimen route packed to the infectious-substance rule is clean and a customer's paint, aerosols or lithium cells are not.
