Where's the valve stem for the 5th wheel? Figure need to check it for pre and post trip inspections. Don't forget to thump that wheel also!

Are they super secret hazmat hot wheels cars? And are they in packaging, or just loose in there, thus causing problems when DOT opens the trailer doors?

And what if there's also a load of super secret hazmat ping-pong balls mixed in with the super secret hot wheels cars as well? :shock:

Oh for petes sake !!!!!

You drive directly into a lake, resovoir, river, ocean, gulf of alaska.... :roll:

Yeah, I thought that was common knowledge for everyone?

Man, some of these newbies just don't get it, do they?

Believe me I understand the super secret hazmat rules. Regardless, if you are hauling super secret hazmat hot wheels cars, or sinking them in a lake, they are still super secret, so you can't count those wheels in your total number.

:P

Good gravy! Google "super secret hazmat" and you get 169,000 entries! :shock: Wonder how many wheels are secretly embedded in those entries? :shock: :lol:

I've never hauled Hot Wheels cars. But do golf carts count? They have toxic batteries, and geriatric old farts drive them, so that should be enough for them to be considered hazardous, should it not?

If it's not enough for super secret hazmat status, could I at least have slightly secret hazmat?

Granted -- but only if you count the wheels! :lol:

I'm worried that I've already disqualified myself, though - I was transporting them on a rollback. Oh, woe is me :sad:
