Attached are the complete specifications on the\ntank truck trailer.\nHowever, special provision B6 States \"Packagings shall be made of steel.\"\nSubsequently, Officer Ronnie Mayeaux of the Louisiana State Police Hazardous\nMaterials Division, interprets this as excluding stainless steel. Therefore, he indicates\nthat this trailer does not meet USDOT transportation 49CFR173.242 because it is made\nof stainless steel and not steel.\nWould you be so kind as to verify that the stainless steel trailer listed above does meet\nUSDOT transportation requirement. Time is of the importance and a prompt answer is\ngreatly appreciated, if possible kindly respond via fax to (504) 265-7795, and follow up\nwith an original copy in the mail.
