That is a good point Lori.
When you have chemicals with you in the truck/van/trailer you have to have the MSDS with you within arm's reach in a folder/spiral/notebook, whatever you want but needs to have every chemical that you have in/on that vehicle and/or trailer.
If you do not have them and D.O.T. pulls you over, you are looking at fines and that will cause more inspection and possibly more fines of things that you are not aware of but are Federal D.O.T. Regulations for the Roads and Highways, nobody is exempt.
There are a lot of places that seem to not be enforcing the D.O.T. regulations but they are being enforced, you just do not see it too much but they are cracking down more and more.
The State Troopers usually do not write many tickets in the city because it is the city police that usually do that but now with more cooperation between city/state/government that is starting to change.
I have never seen a State Trooper give a ticket inside the city before but I have seen 5 in the last month so maybe they are expanding their coverage. Typically they stay on the highways but since they also cover roads, they can give tickets inside the city also if they want.
I would not want to be caught with over 90 gallons of bleach on my truck or trailer without having the proper placards, D.O.T. registered vehicle, CDL with Hazmat endorsement, D.O.T. approved Container, etc..............................., that fine would suck!
There are a lot of other things that you have to know about but that has been talked about a lot in other threads, search for DOT, regulations, hauling chemicals, etc.... here in the bbs and you will find a lot of great threads.
