    That is very minor. Completely safe and I highly doubt the DOT man would give you grief over it.

    Duct tape would have been just fine until you can clean up damaged insulation, inject insulation, then patch it. Not a big deal, live and learn.

    I guess fmcsa has it listed under 393.84 says no unnecessary holes. Which leaves that open to interpretation by dot lol

    That’s awfully vague. I’ll bet I can find at least one “unnecessary hole” in any truck or trailer with any age on it.
