This episode dives further into DOT 6, all about Poisons. Mike had to step out last minute because of our busy training schedule, so it’s just Bob flying solo this time. Tune in for some great insights!

We're diving into Class 6 - yep, the infamous poisons! But it turns out, not everything here is as toxic as you might think. Some are even biological. We stumbled across a few surprises ourselves. Tune in for this two-part look at DOT Class 6.

We're diving into DOT class 5 today - a category that’s often mixed up and not always clear-cut. Join us as we break things down and clear up some of the confusion around this tricky classification....
