## What is Placard Pro?

PlacardPro is the compliance platform built for professional HAZMAT drivers and fleet safety managers. One scan of a Bill of Lading returns an instant PASS, WARNING, or FAIL against 49 CFR federal hazardous materials regulations — with exact citation references and required placard specifications.

BUILT FOR THE CAB, NOT A DESK
Every screen is designed for gloved hands, bright sun, and time pressure. Core actions take three taps or fewer. No compliance degree required.

WHAT PLACARDPRO DOES
• Scan any Bill of Lading with your phone camera
• AI-powered OCR extracts hazmat line items automatically
• Validates each item against 49 CFR Part 172 in real time
• Returns PASS / WARNING / FAIL with the specific regulation cited
• Displays exact placard requirements per DOT Table 1 and Table 2
• Full scan history stored securely for your carrier account
• Works in low-signal areas with offline validation capability
• CHEMTREC emergency line (1-800-424-9300) one tap away from Settings

FOR FLEET SAFETY MANAGERS
PlacardPro's web-based fleet console at placardpro.ai gives safety managers 
complete visibility and control over their fleet's hazmat compliance — without 
requiring drivers to learn any new software.

REAL-TIME COMPLIANCE DASHBOARD
See every BOL scan across your entire fleet as it happens. The dashboard 
surfaces total scans, pass rate, failed scans, and active driver count — 
updated in real time. Safety managers can search scans by driver name, 
shipper name, or load number to investigate specific incidents fast.

SHIPPER COMPLIANCE REPORTING
PlacardPro tracks which shippers are the source of your BOL violations. The 
shipper report ranks every shipper your fleet has loaded from by pass rate 
and surfaces the specific violations each shipper produces most often. When 
a shipper consistently generates non-compliant BOLs, you have the documented 
data to push back.

DISPUTE AND OVERRIDE WORKFLOW
When a driver believes a scan result is incorrect, they can flag it for 
manager review directly from the app — with a reason code attached. Fleet 
managers review flagged scans, view the original BOL image, and either 
confirm the fail, override it to pass, or dismiss the dispute. Every 
decision is logged with a timestamp and the manager's name for a complete 
audit trail.

YOUR VIOLATION EXPOSURE, QUANTIFIED
The dashboard shows your fleet's overall pass rate, total scans, and failed 
scans in real time. That number is the most important compliance metric your 
fleet has — and until PlacardPro, most carriers didn't have it at all. A 
carrier running an 85% pass rate on BOL scans has a measurable, documented 
PHMSA exposure problem. A carrier running 97% has documented evidence of 
a functioning compliance program — which matters when an inspector shows up.

BILLING AND SEAT MANAGEMENT
Add or remove driver seats directly from the console. 

REGULATORY COVERAGE
PlacardPro validates against:
• 49 CFR Part 172 — Hazardous Materials Table
• DOT Placard Table 1 (always-placard materials)
• DOT Placard Table 2 (1,001 lb threshold rule)
• PHMSA Poison Inhalation Hazard (PIH) requirements
• Proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, and UN number verification

WHY IT MATTERS
A single PHMSA violation can cost $15,000 to $102,348 per incident. PlacardPro pays for itself the first time it catches a BOL error before a driver leaves the yard.

SUBSCRIPTION
PlacardPro requires an active carrier account provisioned by your fleet safety manager. Drivers are added by account — no individual purchases required. Contact your fleet administrator or visit placardpro.ai.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.3 — 2026-08-01

Rescan failed BOLs — One tap reopens the camera with your load
number carried over. The new scan replaces the old one in your
history, with the original kept for your records.

Clearer scan results — Informational advisories (like UN-number-
on-placard requirements) now appear separately from document
warnings, so you can see what needs fixing versus what's simply
good to know.

Manual Review alerts — Certain load combinations now show a
review banner prompting you to confirm with your dispatcher
before transport.

Multi-page BOL detection — When a BOL references an attached
weight manifest, the app now prompts you to scan all pages so
placard requirements can be fully evaluated.

Fixed an issue where the camera could fail to open after
entering a load number.
