  4. The image of a bird in a red octagon

Answer: B. The image of a fish in a white triangle with an X through through the fish

The marine pollutant symbol is a white triangle containing a fish with an X drawn through the fish. The handbook says any bulk package of a marine pollutant must show the Marine Pollutant marking: a white triangle with a fish and an X through the fish. It also says this is a marking, not a placard, and that it must appear on the outside of the vehicle as well as on the package. So the symbol to look for is the fish inside the white triangle with the X crossing the fish.
3. What does the trailer air supply control look like?
  1. It is a square blue knob.
  2. It is a triangular yellow knob.
  3. It is an eight-sided red knob. ✓
  4. It is a circular orange knob.

Answer: C. It is an eight-sided red knob.

The trailer air supply control on newer vehicles is a red eight-sided knob. The handbook describes the trailer air supply control in the cab, which operates the tractor protection valve. On newer vehicles it is a red knob with eight sides. You push it in to send air to the trailer and pull it out to cut the air off and apply the trailer emergency brakes. The same knob pops out on its own when air pressure falls to roughly 20 to 45 psi, closing the tractor protection valve. Older vehicles may instead have a lever rather than a knob.
