When you attach the RFID tag to a pallet, ensure it is attached where?
- Inside the pallet cover.
- Bottom right corner of the pallet.
- Outside of any plastic or over wrapping.
- Near the highest priority piece of cargo.
Correct Answer

A. Outside of any plastic or over wrapping.

Explanation

The RFID tag should be attached outside of any plastic or over wrapping when you attach it to a pallet. This is because the plastic or over wrapping may interfere with the RFID signal and prevent it from being read accurately. Attaching the tag outside of any plastic or over wrapping ensures that it is easily accessible and can be read by RFID readers without any obstruction.
