    The other thing for future consideration of those who may run across thus post is and new[er] hm drivers ... if the hazardous materials are in "totes" such as the typical 275 gallon size (as opposed to 55 gallon drums or 5 gallon pails), these would fall under "Bulk" packaging (>120 gallons), same as a tanker and would be Certainly prohibited through these and most other tunnels. (this applies to many but not all of the more common hazardous materials moved via van trailers and flatbeds)

    I inherited this load. I had no idea what kind of containers were in the trailer. I can't pronounce any of the many different items that were in the trailer.
    All
    of them did have a 2.2 classification. Honest, I'd rather not pull another hazmat load unless I pick it up from the shipper. And I did run down to 68. Couldn't find anyone on duty that could ok the tunnels.
