Transportation
When you ship your waste with ADCO you can rest assured that your waste is traveling on our company owned trucks from time of pick-up to delivery to a processor or disposal site. And every driver has been thoroughly trained and certified as a qualified Driver/Technician by ADCO. This training includes radiation training, 40 hour OSHA training and plenty of OJT, (On The Job training). And, of course, every driver at ADCO must pass a written test, USDOT physical, and possess a clean driving record.
Unlike other firms hauling nuclear waste who utilize outside trucking firms, ADCO has control of your waste from beginning to end. We feel this is an important consideration in light of the world situation today. To give your waste to a regular trucking company you are accepting an unnecessary risk.
At ADCO, the safe transportation of your waste is of the utmost importance to not only you the customer, but to us as your transporter. It just makes good sense to entrust your waste to the firm that has been transporting radioactive and hazardous waste on its own vehicles for nearly 40 years. Our trucks have logged over 10 million miles safely transporting special wastes since 1965.
The shipment of your radioactive or hazardous waste is too sensitive an issue to allow it to be transported by a regular trucking company by drivers that have little if any training in the safe handling and transportation of these unique wastes. Remember, according to Federal law YOU are responsible for the waste you generate, from “cradle to grave”, and that includes the transportation of that waste.
Why not give your special wastes to the experts? You’ll be glad you did!
