Box trucks for transporting gases: Box trucks transporting bottled compressed gases and liquefied gases must be equipped with ventilation devices and securing devices. 2. Special vehicles for transporting flammable and explosive materials: Special vehicles for transporting flammable and explosive materials must all be fitted with conductive rubber grounding straps that meet regulatory standards. 3. Vehicles for transporting horizontally placed bottled compressed gases: Special vehicles transporting horizontally placed bottled compressed gases and liquefied gases must have internal compartment widths that meet the length dimensions of the cylinders; otherwise, the vehicle must be replaced to meet transport requirements. 4. Vehicles for transporting oxides: Oxidizers and organic peroxides must be transported using temperature-controlled box-type special vehicles.
