Yes, always make sure you read the side of the bottle for instructions on how to neutralize your Super Secret Hazmat™. The shipper will usually tell you when driving into a lake is the best solution, but it is always best to check for yourself.

Remember, though. NEVER mix Super Secret Hazmat™ with ping pong balls. Deadly combination.

The one that left my truck looking like this

Columbia Falls MT to Helena MT at night in a storm, no place to stop.

Is that the rear view of a bobtail?

It looks like the back of a flatbed.

Moose is correct, I was loaded with about 45K of lumber, there was about 4 feet of space on the rear, all covered with packed snow, the underside looked just the same, I bet I knocked off 1000 lbs of snow at the terminal.

The skills obtained from hauling "super secret hazmat" loads can also be helpful when dealing with a coolie carrier;

Taylor drove to the lake and waited at the boat ramp for a fisherman to take his boat out of the lake, then drove his truck - which had no trailer attached - into the water, almost completely submerging it, Sills said.

Taylor then swam out of the lake and surrendered to deputies, Sills said.

"He made a conscientious effort not to damage the patrol cars or the guy with the fishing boat," Sills said.

A representative for USA Trucks said the company is declining to comment on the situation.

He was practicing for hauling Super Secret Hazmat™. Gotta keep your certification up to be able to haul it. :wink: USA Truck declined to comment because of the Super Secret© nature of Super Secret Hazmat™.

my most terrifying drive was being stuck on a 45 degree snowy mountain road in Utah for hours with an acid tanker in front of me that was stuck, slowly sliding back towards me and losing pressure in the brakes, and part of it was hanging off a cliff, and the other part of it was about to take me right off the cliff with her.

scary stuff coming upon this and realizing if that acid tanker didnt somehow make it up the cliff, I was gonna die.

that was one of the many scary expriences ive dealt with.

So your saying it's so super secret, they had to make a conspiracy to cover up the super secret hazmat recert test... Damn I want my super secret hazmat just so I can have an excuse to go swimming more often!
