A group of truck safety advocates wrote a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg urging him to take steps to prevent hazmat crashes and save lives. The letter called for automatic emergency braking on all commercial motor vehicles, hours-of-service rule reform, and opposition to anti-safety trucking legislation.
The letter was motivated by a recent train derailment in Ohio that spilled hazardous chemicals and revealed dangerous deficiencies in the rail and truck transportation of hazardous materials.
I've always wondered but never asked. Why are there 50 footers and 53 footers? Im guessing bridge laws in different states?

I’m curious about reefer-haz freight. What kind of commodity is it? No need to name customers. Is it better than dry-haz? I have a tanker endorsement too.
Gasoline tanker truck flipped on I-5 near Lacey in the rain. One of the tankers ruptured and leaked its fuel. The other was intact and its contents were being moved to another truck. The truck driver and a passenger suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital.
Only one lane of I-5 was open for most of the day. Authorities advised travelers to stay away from the area, which is about 5 miles west of Olympia.

I was almost done with my shift at a dock. When they were done, I had 8 minutes left and turned on PC to find a place to park.
I was almost done with my shift at a dock. When they were done, I had 8 minutes left and turned on PC to find a place to park. The first spot was full, so I decided to fill up. Then, because the truck was off and on, the logs switched the status to Driving without me noticing. When I got to a safe place 15 minutes later, I saw what had happened.
My company won’t edit the log and I can’t do it myself. So my question is, what will happen if I get stopped for a random inspection in the next few weeks? A fine, points on my license? Should I stop driving until my company agrees to fix the time? Any suggestions would be very helpful!
