NTTC Asks DOT to Halt Two Tank Truck Rulemakings
National Tank Truck Carriers said Wednesday it has asked Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to stop two rulemaking processes aimed at tank trucks.
The first rulemaking would require a ban on gasoline in loading lines on cargo tanks, also known as wetlines, NTTC said.
The other would turn over cargo tank regulatory responsibilities to a private third party and restrict public access to the regulatory process, NTTC said.
In a statement, NTTC said it considers the rulemakings “unnecessary and even counterproductive to safety.”
