I do commercial building inspections and will occasionally come across plastic totes and bulk liquid containers with the labels inaccessible or illegible. As long as I can see the DOT 4-digit identifier at least have an idea of what I am dealing with.Simple to use and has been 100% reliable in the field. One of my favorite work apps.
