Is this allowed?

Yes, as long as you don't park Hazmat within X feet of an open flame or traveled PUBLIC roadway, not private property, almost anyplace is OK for non-explosive placarded HazMat parking. Private property only has HazMat parking restrictions for Explosives and maybe radioactive placarded loads. Those situations require Safe Haven parking requirements. BTW, 99.999% of people without HazMat endorsements and experience incorrectly use/understand Safe Haven rules and definitions. The driver cannot declare a Safe Haven. The property owner must meet the requirements for Safe Haven areas and the Feds have to designate the location a Safe Haven. The 99.999% of people misusing the phrase Safe Haven almost universally use it in regards to driving/parking a truck after their Hours of Service have run out. That is a misuse of the phrase Safe Haven. Safe Haven does not refer to HOS, it refers to leaving unattended explosive loads in federally designated areas.

 

I'm going to report it.

 

AI is trying to make the one asking a question satisfied with the answer. It gets no pat on the back for accurate answers. AI answers are as inaccurate as human answers in real life.

 

That's why the regulations mean what the regulations say, and what judges and lawyers have agreed after verbal "wrestling" about those words and phrases, not common sense. The regulations mean what the regulations mean without regard to common sense and often without regard to common use of English words. Law school takes 3 years after college. If it was based on common sense it could be taught in a semester at a community college. So when people ask about the regulations, the answer comes from the regulations, not common sense.

 

Spouts to the outside protect the spots from being jostled and possibly manipulated by contact with other totes or freight while going down the road. IIRC most spouts in totes are in a somewhat recessed position. If they were turned toward the middle of the trailer you might NOT be be able to see if they were leaking until substantial leaking had already happened.

 

Wait a minute! Remember what Abraham Lincoln said, if AI said it, it has to be true!

 

The way they're loaded reflects the way the forklift had to pick them up. I've never seen them loaded any other way.

 

Think id be more concerned parking at walmart. Might end up with a boot on ur wheel

 

Wait till you learn that this current "AI" marketing hype is literally just an amalgamation of all of reddit, forums, and other stolen human posts.

 

Somewhere along the way I was told to load with valve facing inward.

Packages having valves or other fittings must be loaded in a manner to minimize the likelihood of damage during transportation.
