    Yeah we do but if you're referring to the short hose picture with no vapor recovery that was Diesel.

    In Canada they lonely stop for UN controlled RR crossings. It should be the same way here but this country is going to bury all industry in this country with all the regulations.

    In canada you don't have to stop if the crossing has arms on it

    Not knowing when the law was put in place for stopping at railroad crossings but guessing occured when there was no signals.railroad company should pay to put signals so we don't have to stop but since they don't want the liability and not forced to cover the liability because of the corrupt politicians it probably will never happen

    Most trailers should have the stop at RR crossing decal. If not I always put my hazards on well before the crossing. If you're riding my ### I'm jumping the track. I'd rather live to flick you off than be a victim of illiteracy/ignorance.

    So far there is only 1 set of tracks I will never stop for under any circumstances. 14/18 around Madison WI. There's a frickin railroad track running across the 6 lane highway.

    There is also a regulation, 392.11 that says that ALL trucks (non hazmat) must slow down enough to be able to stop before the tracks until they can see both directions to make sure it is clear. I know places with trees nearly up to the highway that you would almost be stopped before you can see both directions. I've never seen this law enforced there but it goes with a license suspension so I hope I never do.
