If this is the wrong forum feel free to move it, i searched & found HAZMAT topics in this forum so I'm posting it here.
Last Friday evening driving to Texarkana on I-30 I passed a truck pulling a heavy-duty type trailer, but it was quite short.
In the middle of the tralier was a very heavy duty barrel like thing chained to the center of the trailer, I believe the placard had the numbers 272, & there was several placards on the trailer.
Wish I had wrote the numbers down that the placards were showing, yet I feel it was 272.
Thanks,
Jerry
Wonder what this load was-HAZMAT

Look for pics of radioactive waste containers. They can look like what you described.
Big Don and CondoCruiser Thank this. -
did it look like a septic tank?
they transport radioactive stuff in a caste looks like that -
Molten aluminum?
-
Both posters could be correct. Hittman hauls Radioactive is setups like that.
Plus I have seen molten sulpher and alum. hauled in setups simliarCondoCruiser Thanks this. -
I always chat with the radioactive haulers as to how their casks would make a good grill.
-
Yea, but I would hate being the one to have to stock it up on firewood..

Yeah it's most likely radioactive waste. We have a company not far from me that hauls that stuff from the nuclear plants to somewhere out in the desert. I thought about it at one time.
It should of had radioactive placards on the side if it was. It's hard to miss. UN numbers run in the 2900's for radioactive material. Every trailer I've seen was full size. -
Years ago, I was on 80/94 NW Indiana and I was passed by a truck with a radioactive placard. As he passed me, the AM radio station I was listening to (out of Chicago), went all staticky until he was no longer near me.
