a.It may be listed anywhere on the page
b.It must be listed last
c.It must be shipped on a separate truck
d.It must stand out by being listed first, highlighted, or marked with an 'X' or 'RQ' in the HM column
Explanation
Hazardous materials must be clearly distinguished from other cargo on a mixed shipping paper. This is done by listing them first, printing them in a contrasting color, or placing an 'X' (or 'RQ') in a column labeled HM before the shipping name. This ensures responders can find the entry quickly.
