FMCSA Safety Advisory: Cargo Tank Motor Vehicles

Posted on 11/11/2016 by Roger Marks

On November 10, 2016, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a Safety Advisory to notify owners and operators of DOT 407 and DOT 412 cargo tank motor vehicles (CTMVs) manufactured by a company called Keith Huber Incorporated.

Using these CTMVs in specification hazardous materials service is prohibited. To continue using these vehicles, owners must have a qualified person complete repairs to bring it in compliance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR).

See the list of repairs needed in the full FMCSA Safety Advisory here.

FMCSA notes that Keith Huber Incorporated stopped manufacturing CTMVs in May 2013. Another company, Keith Huber Corporation, also manufacturers CTMVs. CTMVs manufactured by Keith Huber Corporation after May 1, 2013 are not subject to this safety advisory.

One of the best trainings I have ever received!

Brandon Morfin

EH&S Manager

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

George Alva

Manufacturing Manager

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

Robert Roose

Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation

You blew the doors off the competition!

Stephen Bieschke

Facilities Manager

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

Henry Watkins

Hazardous Waste Technician

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

Stephanie Weathers

SHE Specialist

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

Tom Berndt

HSE Coordinator

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

Neil Ozonur

Safety Officer

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Frank Sizemore

Director of Regulatory Affairs

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.
