Do not transport herbicides in the passenger section of the vehicle. Do not transport herbicides in the trunk of passenger cars or in trucks with wooden beds. Use a trailer to transport herbicides when using a car. Use rope and straps to secure containers so they will not move during transport. During the trip, periodically check containers to be sure they have not shifted and spilled.
Direct sunlight can cause the containers to overheat, resulting in a pressure buildup.
A tarp can be used to shade the containers as well. If an accident occurs during transport and a minor spill results, administer first aid to anyone who may have been injured. Confine the spill. If it starts to spread, dig a dike around the area to contain it. Always take a shovel with you when hauling herbicides.
