A truck driver is pressured to transport hazardous materials (11,564 lbs of bleach) without the required hazmat endorsement or placards, with management claiming it's legal within county lines, putting the driver at risk.

No system exists to automatically flag hazmat loads that exceed driver's endorsement level or regulatory limits, forcing drivers to manually check and confront management.
