papers into the mailpac. The inspector chewed him a new one & Ohio later sent a fine.
We would have OTR guys clean at a tankwash close to where they were re-loading. The always took a copy of the wash ticket as proof that the tank was cleaned. You often neded to present proof of a tankwash before loading the next product..
Dedicated tankers still need to be cleaned once a year for the internal inspection +/or thickness test if insulated. The placards should come off then.
Before you had to do an internal inspection a fuel tanker might only be washed when it was leaking and needed to be fixed...You replaced the palcards when they were faded. -

Oderus Urungus and chalupa Thank this. -
You know I totally forgot to come to this thread and summarize the outcome.
I ended up calling RoadLaw and let them handle it. I got to say although they handled it, their communication skills really suck. I had to keep calling them and calling them to find out what they were doing about my case. And every time I called they kept telling me there are no notes in my file and they would call me back when they heard something. But they never called me, EVER. The lawyer handling my case only called me once and never called back ever again to inform me of anything. Finally after 6 months I called AGAIN. And they told me the case was dismissed.
So all in all next time I need a lawyer I'll just find a local lawyer to handle it for me instead of going through a middle man.scottied67 Thanks this. -
The important part is it was dismissed. Good deal.
That terrible about the attorney though when you pay for a service. What if you lost? -
Here's a new one. I got pulled over in downtown Chicago at 11:30pm on a Friday night for a random full roadside inspection including hazmat that took 1 hour and 20 minutes. This guy checked everything and when it was over I got written a warning for a faded hazmat trailer sticker which is supposed to be affixed to the rear trailer guard on the inside facing the passenger side trailer mudflap. Has anyone ever heard of this? The officer claimed it is affixed by the trailer manufacturer at the factory if the dry van is hazmat worthy. He said I need to go back to Utility and get another one affixed, and they may need to re-inspect the entire trailer for hazmat worthiness first. Huh? Any help is appreciated guys.
