I work for a company that transports lead and used auto and industrial batteries as well as other commodities such as sterilized medical supplies, food, empty and filled beverage containers and household goods. All these products are being transported in the same dry van trailers. I feel that all these other commodities should not be transported in the same trailer that lead and auto batteries were in before picking up the new commodities because of cross contamination.
The question I have for my fellow truckers is if any of you may be aware of existing guidelines and or regulations that state this type of transportation of commodities is not supposed to be occurring.
Any help or advice that any of you could give me is greatly appreciated! Also links or websites of any information you might have would be amazing as well!
