Every day, oil and gas companies haul potentially hazardous materials from oilfields onto our highways without following adequate safety rules, thanks to lack of federal enforcement.

This is putting truckers and communities at greater risk of catastrophe.

Join Earthjustice and our client, Truckers Movement for Justice, to demand that Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies enforce existing hazardous material rules when it comes to hauling oilfield waste.

The waste that is created during the fracking and extraction process is often toxic, radioactive, or highly flammable, but because laws are not properly enforced, the waste is not being classified as hazardous materials.
