Nearly a half-ton of marijuana worth $1M seized in Abington - Brockton, MA - The Enterprise

 

[Vwaggs]

That would be a class 9 commodity correct?

 

[forkspoon]

I heard they tried to do a reweigh on the shipment and it was under weight....figures. Vwaggs you are correct, its a class 9 commodity weight class 250.

Too bad it didn't wind up in OS&D. Maybe Yellow could have sold it and "baled" out the company.

Sure hope they got their money for the freight. Could always tell the Feds you have to keep a bale as collatrol, hell I'll even offer to hold it for em. Retired no PeePee Tests here. Buffett coming to town soon, whoa, what a smoker of a concert that would be. Just offering my services !!!

Class 9 only with bulk ID numbers.
So whats the bulk ID for pot?
Makes you wonder just what in the hell your moving around in these damn trucks!!!!

I agree. I have noticed that there have been a lot of inbound Velocity loads, coming outbound from Pheonix, AZ., lately.

 

[cmsdock]

I figured haz mat class 9

 

[Spaghetti]

Depends on how it is packaged and labelled.

 

[bootleg707]

When was your last hazmat no # needed for class 9 hazmat. only if going outbound to another country. SMOKE UP if you can!

It would be a good idea for all road drivers to make sure the correct seal number is on your pay rec for the trailers you are pulling

 

[billyzollars]

Well' I guess I'll have to go plan B now.

Does anyone know what terminal number Abington is or where it breaks from? The 2nd story said that the shipment came out of Huntington in Southern California. There's a few cities with Huntington in their name. Hungtington Park, Huntington Beach anyone know exactly what city it came out of ? Just curious, i load 135 freight out of So Cal

 

[R-14Driver]

Acting on a tip from YRC, a trucking company on Bedford Street in Abington, authorities investigated two crates there shipped from Huntington Beach, Calif., that had neither the sender’s nor recipient’s addresses............

WRONG!
Class 9 placs are needed if it is a bulk shipment. You will never see a class 9 plac in the USA without a bulk number on it.

 

[pilot108]

Would you have to put inhalation hazard placs on the trl ?
