I saw a semi pulling a tiny tank of heptafluoropropane on I 57. It really was a tiny tank, like one of those AA tanks you see in a corn field once in
a while
Also see liquid nitrogen trucks once in a while

On the highway between Alabama and Tennessee and saw two different trucks:
(Sorry about the quality of the second picture, it's supposed to say 1203 but for some reason the image resolution seems to decrease upon adding it to
a post)
Some googling shows that 2209 is formaldehyde and 1203 is gasoline. I wonder if the formaldehyde is being sent to a biology/chemistry lab or if it's
for industrial use.
 
And no, I am not the one driving the car.

Saw one a few weeks ago, 1824, 1836 & 18??. All three placards were on the same tanker grouped like a black n white 3 block pyramid. Only got a
quick couple glances but Im sure about first two numbers, the third was either a repeat or a combination of numbers from 24 / 36.. as I didnt
recognize it as a separate numbers.
Highway 101 by willits ca. Looked it up, 1824 : sodium hydroxide sol, 1836 : thionylchloride. Odd, considering it was one large tank, not visibly
partitioned

There's an even more updated app, almost identical in terms of content, to HazRef Lite, called "Placard Finder." It's free, too. I found it after
becoming very interested in this subject. I didn't think those numbers on the symbols meant anything—I thought it was a permit or something. I will
be on lookout for any trucks, now!

Downloading now. Interesting. I used to just write it down to google at home or on my phone, but I suppose getting an app for it is in order with my
'style'...

Crossing from Argentina to Chile through the Andes I saw a bunch of trucks in the Frontier carrying containers of calcium carbide, calcium oxide,
toluene, methyl tert-butyl ether, petroleum distillates, bunch of different kind of fuels from a nearby petrochemical plant, also potassium arsenite
(I think I misread the number) and a tanker with the number 1253 that placards couldn't identify.
Plate hunting is more addictive than pokemon go.

The timing of the picture was near perfect! 
I snapped the pic while at a stoplight in Dallas, TX on my way to checkout some lab equipment I saw on craigslist.

Not a tanker on a highway but it seems like an unexpected whoosh bottle effect.
