Placards for drinking alcohol?

Yup, our company just recently had a driver that had a car trying to stop him on the road by flashing their lights etc... He pulled into a well lighted public area of a Truck Stop and POOF they disappeared... Their goal?

 

Ok, we now need to find a driver with a load of salt...

 

Just picked up a load of iso container liquor out of NJ, paperwork from shipper gives an exemption for a permit for liquor, I found that to be odd, but I've been hauling hazmat for over 30 years and the laws keep changing, I keep reading and learning. I wonder does this have to do with international shipments??

 

Nope.

Just have the appropriate permits with that load bills of lading for the alcohol.

 

Placards for drinking alcohol...

Hazardous Driver placard. If those existed, they would be on a lot of trucks probably.

 

UN3065 - Alcoholic Beverages....it does exist...

used to dispatch (4) drivers dedicated to Union Carbide's "World Alcohol" and 190 proof and 200 proof 'pure' ethanol was placarded and a tax stamp varnished to the front head of the tankers that the customer would rip when the load was empty...each valve and flange was drilled for them top thread a brass wire through everything and seal it with a button seal too. the placards were class 3 but the un number was for ethanol....

biggest customer was making Nyquil.....
