[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 504298, member: 18471"] Pups do flip over, driver flipped one in a North Jersey yard a few years ago. It was loaded with paper, was the kite and he was making a u-turn. This is the problem with using percentages rather than weight of trailers. You can have 100 % of styrofoam in 1 trailer and the other one loaded with nuts and bolts or paper to 50%. That wasn't the case in this incident though. The load could have shifted before the forklifts were used to stabilize it though and caused the trailer to flip. I believe if there is any substantial amount of spillage (more than a couple of gallons, not sure of the exact amount) the EPA is supposed to be notified. Usually it seems if they are notified there is a spill, there is a fine, if they are not notified and they find out afterwards there is a fine for the spill and another fine for not notifying them. Of course the American business model seems to be lets try to clean up/cover up before anyone finds out. [/QUOTE]
