The ERG 2012: Quick Lookup for Kindle is now updated with the official corrections published by the Department of Transportation.
Very neat app. Beats the book any day.
will this ever be available for the blackberry?
Alan, Thanks for asking. DOT Placards IS now available for select Blackberry models. Please search for ERG2008 in the Blackberry App marketplace and see if your phone is currently supported. If not, please email us at support@sherprog.com and we’ll see if qualify the app for your phone.
Will there be a Windows phone app?
George,
We’ll be evaluating the new Windows platform over the next few months. We certainly have access to the development tools; it’s a question of deciding about the market.
We’re also hoping that the new ebook version, which is coming along nicely and should be ready early next month, will let us serve more platforms than we do now. If you’ve got an e-reader on your Windows phone, let me know if you’d like to try an evaluation copy of the ebook when the next version is ready to send out.

Do you have an ERG 2012 version for Windows mobile 6? (cab file)
We don’t have a version specifically for the Windows 6 phone. But, if you can get a Kindle reader or an epub reader for the device, you should be able to use one of our ebook formats.
The Kindle version is available in English on Amazon now. If you need another ebook format or you are interested in beta-testing our French or Spanish versions, please contact us at support@sherprog.com.
Hey, any chance the ERGO will be available on the app store for IPhone ?
Our Kindle ebook should be readable on the iPhone using the free Kindle reader app. And, remember, if you buy the Kindle version once, you can download it to all your Kindle Reader devices.
Also, if you are looking for large quantities and/or a customized version, we can make bespoke versions of the ebook (with private phone numbers, specialized procedures, etc).
But, if you want a version that is specifically and only for the iPhone, one of our competitors publishes an app called Cargo Decoder that is available in the iTunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cargo-decoder/id520387030. The name doesn’t say ERG but I believe it has the same basic information as our Android app.

David,
Thank you for your support, and thanks for the feedback. We’ve actually been talking to another truck driver with similar concerns about shippers incorrectly coding a hazmat load. He would like to see a product that allows the driver to verify that the load is correctly classified, labeled, & placarded with his company’s safety department before leaving the loading site, and then if it is not correct, to be able to receive a rule change letter on his mobile device. Finally, the product would then help make changes to the labeling (if the safety department requires them) by allowing the printing of new labels on an in-cab printer (or any printer the driver has access to).
The thread where he describes the kind of product he needs is on one of our posts, here.
What do you think? We prefer this to simply having an app where you enter substance data to be told what placards to use, because this app would allow a trained safety department to decide what the right classification is, and it would also allow the driver to make a change on the spot. Rather than just telling you “it’s wrong,” you might be able to fix it right then and there.
We aren’t actively developing this product yet, we are just researching it, so if you think it would be helpful, please tell us so.
Thanks again–it’s always good to get feedback from our users!
