Hi All. I called up Transport Canada this afternoon to ask a bunch of questions regarding placarding, licensing and proper transportation of oil based asphalt coating (BlackMac). The woman I spoke to was very helpful and I was amazed that I actually got to speak to a human. We were on the phone for a good 20 min and she followed up with the e-mail below. I thought I'd share this with you all here FYI. I knew there had been changes this year so I figured I should make sure everything is in order before the season starts. Pays to be informed and have proper documentation if you ever get stopped by MTO. Enjoy! :canadaflag:
