OK first thing is the shipper is not required by law to give you placards, if they don't have them, then you have to note it on your paper work and get them.
OK I will go along that there is a regulation but it is the driver who is on the hook for properly placarding the vehicle and ensuring that the paper work is in order, not the shipper.
The regulation can't be enforced unless there is negligence on the part of the shipper and even then the driver is responsible to ensure that the regulations are followed.
When a shipper offers the placards, the driver can refuse them, using the flip style of placards mounted on his/her truck and the paper work is noted that the carrier provides the placard. When the shipper has run out of placards or does not ship a specific type of hazmat causing them not to have them, the carrier can provide them too, which in my case the shipper compensated me for my time, mileage and other costs as a mutual agreement for those shipments.
Any way you look at it, the driver is responsible for the placard on the truck, not the shipper.
