Last I hauled was out of New Jersey, coming back to Cincinnati.

They called it nitrocellulose.

Nitroglycerin soaked into shredded newspaper in 55 gal waxed cardboard drums, used somewhere in plastic processing. Consignee was upset because it was not in waxed drums this time so they had to store it inside. They had been storing it outside.

Flammable solid dangerous when wet.

I also had flammable and corrosive placards that trip, bit of color on the trailer sides, eh?

Used maybe in plastic explosive processing?
That stuff hit our forbidden list last year or the year before.
It is also a key ingredient in fertilizer explosives.
Can you get me some?

Was not at FedEx when this happened. It was in either 1993 or 1994, I forget which but I remember the scale houses wanting to take a look when they saw all the pretty artwork on the sides of the trailer.
