Compared to it, Ecobat was high tech. You did not get out of the truck at either place as workers in space suits unloaded the truck. After you unloaded the trailer was cleaned out with pressure washers. As a bit or irony newly manufactured car batteries were a hazardous materials load. 45,000 pounds of leaking dead batteries haphazardly piled on pallets were not considered hazardous. The distinction is very important if you're going from Denver to LA. hazmat loads cannot go through Eisenhower Tunnel so you get to take the scenic route over Loveland Pass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loveland_Pass
