Like you said to another poster, you don't want to argue law with DOT on the side of the road.
I do appear a bit ambiguous! The UN3257 is your basically liquid (no other hazardous properties - could be water, or any other non-haz liquid) shipped at 100C or above. Once MT, no hazard. I remove the placards so I don't need to follow HAZMAT routing, stopping at RR Tracks, etc.
Presumably, you wouldn't have been stopped for a HAZMAT inspection if you weren't placarded. NJ is great for waiving everyone through but trucks with placards.
Seems leaving the placards is just a convenience thing because the trailer is dedicated and never gets cleaned. Anyone else care to chime in?
Carlo must have bolted us, and this thread is dying without him!
Been busy, but can't seem to get any runs that let me stretch my legs. Plus, summer is half over and all I have done is work - not good.
I see Sirius (and I guess XM) is raising the rates $1.98 per month for US Music Royalty Fee. I'll dump them when my contract expires in October. The stuff I like to listen to drives me nutz with the endless Chet Holmes and Prolixux commercials and the music channels are cycling like Headline News.
Good day, from a not so Superior driver.
