New hazmat rules

[magnumv8]

Since you need special permits to transport a "hazardous waste" this issue is a lot bigger than it first appears...the inconvenience of taking your waste products with you when you leave you now have the "illegal" substance in your trailer when you get pulled over for a weight check or traffic stop...when all these municipalities looking for ways to increase their revenues you start to look like fresh meat to these people....the writing is on the wall for an "environmental fee" to be added to the entrance fees as well as the insurance fee...this unfortunately is the only proper way to deal with this.....automotive service centers have been adding this fee for years.....

In CA it is not illegal to transport waist oil unless you are caring a amount over the legal limit. I belive its up to around 40 gallons before you need to have the proper permit and also a Haz Mat endorsement on your license. So if we carry around a five gallon bucket of used oil sealed in a bucket its not a problem. Remember It becomes Hazardous Waist only after its been used.

Funny Motor Oil by Itelf isnt considered "HazMat"
Gasoline by itself isnt considered "HazMat"
Together they are.......

I think by calling it Fuel Oil you could get away without it being a Hazmat
