Fuel Haulers (true or false) ?

The part about parking news a gov building, I'm not 100% about. But I would like to believe if a large tanker was parked outside an important gov building for any length of time, security would be checking it out.

Parking at a truck stop, complete Bull$&!t.

Chemicals, there are some cities you can't travel threw our park overnight unless it's a local delivery. (I run under a special hazmat permit for my product that has a list of approved truckstops I can stop/sleep at, but I don't always follow it unless I'm invoking "safe harbor".)

Sounds like someone engaged in a little "puffery".

 

X2.
Never been turned away from a truck stop.

 

Gov buildings, bridges and such, no. Haz mat can only park in safe havens. The trucking company should know where those are at. A truck stop could be designated a safe haven.

 

I'm assuming you mean gas /diesel haulers? I'm aware of no law banning fuel haulers from parking overnight at a truck stop. Flying J, Loves and a lot of smaller chains have their own trucks parked there when the drivers are off work.
Honestly, most fuel hauling is done with day cabs anyway.

 

As stated before most fuel hauling is locally ran but not all. When it comes to parking overnight/ while on 10hr brake the regulation states you can't be parked closer than several 100ft of ANY building. But there shouldn't be any problem parking in a truck stop per say. Now you shouldn't go parking next to a trailer loaded with an oxidizer such as liquid oxygen tho either. Most hazmat regs are really commin sense when it comes to parking.
