I have a research instrument that contains a hazardous material and is pressurized. Can I rent a “U-Haul” and bring it from another research lab to BNL?
It is possible depending on the type and quantity of the material; in the past we have gotten special exemptions from DOT. You must contact your SME or the TSO to determine this. Note: Obtaining an exemption from DOT is not necessarily easy and may require many months to obtain it. Also, DOT has the option of not allowing a proposed exemption if it feels the proposed equivalent safety measures for transport are not adequate.
