I read sometime back that some states (Connecticut? or maybe Rhode Island?) only allow the transport of dangerous cargo during the midnight hours. So explosive gasses, corrosive chemicals, etc. are kept off the roads during daylight hours. I can't imagine such a law here in South California -- way too many people with way too many needs -- but in less populous areas I could see how this might work. Can anyone confirm this?
