For carriers, navigating regulatory compliance is like hacking through a jungle filled with twisting vines of code while being stalked by a leopard with citation claws. This is especially true for cargo tank fleets transporting volatile goods, where the rules for safe operation are even more obscure, but equally critical. Fortunately, at Tank Truck Week 2023, which ran Oct. 8-11 in Indianapolis, several panels and educational sessions provided clarity and education for tank fleets. This included a session in which panelists covered the fine details of venting upgrades, rear impact guards, the upcoming Canadian Harmony rule, and the potential Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) HM-265A regulation update. John Freiler, engineering manager for the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA); Peter Weis, chief engineer for Engineered Transportation International; and Dave Adams, director of design engineering at Betts Industries; guided the presentation. |
