BROOKLYN BRIDGE “SELLER” SENT TO SING SING FOR LIFE

(Click link)

Don’t worry, I'm sure that the 49 CFR Department of Transportation’s (DOT) major changes including the two increases in fines and penalties in the last year, for hazardous material and waste shippers, carriers, generators and transporters, don’t apply to you.

They are just trying to scare you into meeting their new regulations. DOT won’t actually be checking any shipping papers, waste manifests, containers or your training records for compliance. I think all the inspectors are still at home.

Who has the time to meet all those pesky requirements anyway. Certainly not you, you're busy, and have better things to do than be concerned about the hazardous materials and waste transportation regulations. I mean have you seen all the great new movies and streaming episodes on Netflix and Prime lately like “Lupin”, “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Stranger”.

Intent, is enough, once inspectors see you are intending to comply, that should be enough to send them on their way. Ok, if your containers leak, or your truck, train or plane is involved in an accident, fire or explosion, you might be subject to some scrutiny. However, I don’t really believe DOT, EPA or even OSHA are into compliance right now.

It is not like they really expect you to have a copy of the latest hazardous material, waste and worker protection regulations or current training certifications , when the supply of toilet paper is so low. There are thousands of hazardous material and waste shippers and carriers, you have a better chance of winning the Power ball than being caught in violation.

And if you believe that,

“I have a bridge, I would like to sell you”

Be safe!
