Ray Uttaro is the counties Haz-Mat Coordinator and all police and Fire units are trained to know when to call for him on Haz-mat spills. Mr. Uttaro when he arrived on scene would be the one to take charge of any large scale evacuation procedures. John, Country Cledus is correct.

Gasoline or petroleum products about 500 yrds. Chlorine gas about 1 mile. Do bear in mind though that the more dangerous a product or chemical is the more precautions that are taken in its packaging for transport. If you ever see a truck carrying a trailer that looks like a UFO then your probably dealing with a more dangerous HazMat item. The most dangerous chemicals and items also have a travel plan and are restricted to very specific roads. John,

Trucking companies pay by the mile and alot of them use computer programs wich are often inaccurate thus taking money out of the driver's pockets. The majority of truck drivers are over stressed and over worked and speed limits being reduced makes their job even harder. I'm not saying I approve of the trucks taking "short cuts" I'm just saying that if you enjoy eating turkey and you like most of america are impatient when it come to getting what you want you might want to think long and hard before you call a company to complain about a problem that is partially your own fault.
