We sent a brief letter to a number of our subscribers to get some feedback. Here is a sampling of their responses.

"Many thanks to those responsible for making The Journal of HazMat Transportation the concise and authoritative resource that it is. I find "Hazmat Q& A" and "U.S. DOT Interpretations of the HMR" the most useful sections of the publication. The greatest challenge is not learning the regulations but is applying them to the day to day hazmat activities. The Journal of HazMat Transportation has helped me time and time again."

"I have been a subscriber since The Journal of HazMat Transportation inception in my past employment with Petrolite Corp. For those of us that had to delve into the wonderful world of DOT, TDG, IMO and IATA/ICAO, this publication was like stumbling on an oasis in a desert of confusing and often times useless information on related subjects to the above agencies.

Today as then, it still provides rock solid articles, Questions and Answers, and best of all, the DOT Letters of Interpretation. They are organized well and easy to read. I often times use articles for "quickie" training resources, because I know that our hazmat employees will understand the material better if I can show them the relevancy of the training as reflected in the issues of HAZMAT Packager & Shipper. Keep up the good work!"

The format is reader-friendly and the information is invaluable. The writers are experienced and the articles are well written and timely.
