    I ran hazmat tanker and every inspection I have ever had I was asked for my Emergency Response Guide. Most truck stops should carry them.

    printed off my hazmat bol and 10 pages of the msds for aviaton gasoline. Have a copy of the hazard book downloaded and on phone. Pilot only has the safety regulations handbook, not hazmat book. I put the bol and msds papers on upper shelf by driver seat (should they go center console?) And 1203 hazmat placards on rear, sides and front of truck

    Personally I would look up every truckstop on my route and call everyone to see if they have it in stock. Should only take a few minutes and gives the piece of mind you were looking for once you find one.

    You might also have luck at welcome centers too.

    I have learned to like and appreciate Mr TowHaul. He is very persistent. Most all truckstops worth their salt should have them.
     
    TowHaul Thanks this.

    I've been inspected 7 times since I started pulling chem tanks and I have yet to be asked for it. The troopers are more concerned with if I have the stupid laminated ELD reference sheet or not:confused:
     
    TowHaul and 91B20H8 Thank this.

    Bol inserted in orange book on relevant page. Leave in door or on seat when you leave the truck. Should be visible.

    This is going to sound stupid. I think all the information a driver needs to haul hazmat should be printed right on the bills. These books are nice I use to have one. In an emergency, a driver should not be thumbing through a book indexing materials that are listed on the bills. In an emergency, a driver should only really be making one call, 911!
