    Haul containers, 95% of the time I have no clue what's inside until we break the seal, sometimes the office will know, most of the time they don't. I've had hazmat loads that were placarded wrong, I've had hazmat loads arrive from China with no placards, only to have the customer ask why there were no placards.

    Something to do with mining right? Deliver to the mine in boron? Maybe density testing stuff which contains isotopes.
