Bulk Hazmat Compliance Guide provided

July 30, 2014

The National Tank Truck Carriers Inc announces the availability of its new and enhanced 2014 NTTC Bulk Hazmat Compliance Guide. This tank-truck specific book now delivers greater content, accessibility, and utility to its readership.

A précis of the Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulation (49 CFR), the guide contains only those sections of the code that apply specifically to tank truck operations. The improved guide maintains its focus on federal hazardous materials and cargo tank regulations, but it also includes information applicable to all transport vehicles, including Plain Language Explanations and Vehicle Size and Weights Charts.

The guide contains Department of Transportation specifications for all MC and DOT cargo tanks (both MC 300 series and DOT 400 series) and for all commodities classified by the DOT as hazardous materials; testing and retesting requirements; and a list of products poisonous by inhalation. It will also be used in the association’s DOT training workshops scheduled for later in 2014 in Baton Rouge LA, Long Beach CA, Milwaukee WI, and Houston TX during NTTC’s Tank Truck Week Program.
