    Super fine particulates...... Kinda like asbestos gives off (and DPF filters)?

    No health hazard there

    Yeah, I had two pair of insulated gloves. As I worked on unwrapping and getting the frozen tarps off the load, I would climb into the cab as soon as my fingers started to loose feeling. My spare insulated gloves were on the heater vents. I could swap gloves and quicky bake my frozen fingers with heated gloves.

    I wore a face mask up under my nose to guard against the cold. The forklift drivers both wore hazmat breathers to against breathing the fine particulates of the product I delivered,

    Minot has one of the best, if not the best private truck stops in the nation though.

    Looks friendly, albeit chilly, where I'm headed. Let's hope it doesn't snow

    There's a dude next to me with a new Western Star.

    We're in a marshaling yard. He's been idling since I got here, and it just doesn't sound good.

    Now I think it's doing a self regen and I think it's going to explode.

    The cats are urging me to move before it explodes and takes us with it.

    Would think that if an actual explosion occurred, you would be making a large insurance claim.
