    There's a Blue's Fest...Waterfront Blue's Fest in Portland, OR that happens on July 4th on the Willamette River downtown waterfront across the water from I-5. I-5 comes to a hault at 10pm for the firework show launched from a barge on the water...I saw some semi last year take his "30-min break parked on I-5 to watch the show." If that was you...show yourself!

    Is anybody surprised it turned out there were no placards and multiple violations in this incident?

    At this point im more shocked when everything about a load was correct and the incident was either bad luck or someone lied to the trucker about a sealed preload.

    Article in today's Landline:

    A post-incident inspection revealed the following violations: no current hazardous materials registration, no emergency response information for first responders, no hazardous materials shipping papers, no placards identifying the hazardous cargo, and no USDOT number when required.

    Up in smoke, pickup truck driver cited for numerous violations
