Which factor determines the transport limit for explosives?

• A. Maximum distance from origin
• B. Availability of escort vehicles
• C. Time of day
• D. Maximum quantity of explosives needed

Answer: (D)

The transport limit is based on the amount of explosives needed to complete the task. Transporting only the necessary quantity minimizes risk, reduces handling and storage complexity, and makes safety controls more manageable if something were to happen. The other factors—distance from the origin, availability of escort vehicles, and time of day—affect how you plan and execute the move (routing, security, scheduling) but do not determine how much you are allowed or should carry in a single transport. If more is needed, you would plan additional moves or adjust safety measures; the quantity required for the job sets the limit.
