On April 1, 2022, Team Pro-Enviro responded to a call about a significant fuel spill. This was a serious accident involving a semi-truck and trailer and a bus, certainly no joke. When we arrived at the scene we discovered major damage to the fuel tank and a big mess to clean up. It was time to get to work.
If there is a fuel or oil spill at the scene of an accident, Team Pro-Enviro will be there to ensure spill containment and cleanup. This was the case in this semi-truck accident recovery on January 7, 2022.
If your semi-truck or fleet vehicles wind up in an accident, there are many things to consider regarding the recovery process. This is even more the case when the accident also results in a spill of hazardous fluids. Any vehicle or fleet of vehicles on the road must have an appropriate emergency spill response in place. One of the most critical parts of your spill response plan is knowing who to call when a spill happens.
On June 11, 2021, Team Pro-Enviro and Pro-Tow were called to the scene of an accident that involved a commercial box truck. This box truck fell into a ditch and caused damage to the cab and the fuel tank. This resulted in a significant fuel spill inside the ditch and its surrounding areas.
If your semi-truck or fleet vehicles get into an accident or need a tow, it’s likely you know who to call. However, do you know the next steps when that accident involves a spill? Different steps are involved in whether a spill is considered a hazardous material spill or legally requires a spill recovery.
