Washington, D.C. —
Truckers and environmentalists have joined together to demand Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies enforce existing hazardous material rules when it comes to hauling oilfield waste — including the water and sands used to frack and extract oil and gas. The organizations, led by Truckers Movement for Justice, claim hazardous payloads are often not tested, leaving drivers and communities vulnerable to exposure to hazardous materials.
