How do the forbidden-loading rules in 49 CFR 177.848(c) relate to the X/O/asterisk segregation table found in 177.848(d)-(e)?

49 CFR 177.848(c) through (e)

A driver or dispatcher who only checks the segregation table's letter codes can be misled into thinking a load is fine, when a named absolute prohibition elsewhere in the same section actually forbids it outright. Treating 177.848(c) as a mandatory first check, before relying on the table's X/O/asterisk codes, closes that gap.
