well i display orange plates front and rear to show i'm carrying lethal cocktails on my truck.
still get cars cutting me up. they wont be happy till they get that strange feeling of their neck dissolving into their chest!. i'll be ok, i've got my BA kit and protective clothing. 
cant tell you exactly what i carry for obvious reasons but there are many days i am glad to get rid of my load(shut it PJ!  ). treat orange plated trucks with respect. i dont want to make the front pages of the papers
