Got to my pickup...guys says no hazmat today...just totes of non hazardous material...

I can choose my own roads! -
While you are being loaded is the time to be applying placards, if possible. Not in the 8 seconds between getting your BOL and when next driver is whining about you being in the door.Lepton1 and Steel Dragon Thank this.

First, use a squeegee to get most of the water off. I keep a 12" hand squeegee in my tool box for this purpose. Then towel it dry. Sometimes I need to apply a degreaser and wipe it clean if there's a lot of road grime, oil, or fracking fluid.

Try duct tape and make sure the area is clean so buy a roll of paper towels.Also make sure to get extra placards from the shipper.Don't forget to stop every so often and check your placards.Steel Dragon Thanks this.
