Usually what I see are typos, label orientation, packets not placed in the correct 'corner' and other stupid a** "errors" that can more easily be corrected by a pen, razor blade, and 30 seconds of time... The Department of Transportation regulates the shipment of hazardous materials. They specify the correct labeling and packaging of these materials, not the carrier. If as stated 25% are going out incorrectly labeled or packaged it is just a matter of time before one is found by the DOT in transportation. I have read numerous accounts of mislabeled packages leaking and found by the DOT and the fines were not small especially for air shipments. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Franklin D Asbell Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 10:58 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Fun with shipping NTC Why would the DOT need to be involved in this?
