Shipping Papers Requirements
U.S. DOT regulations require that each shipment of LPgas must be accompanied by a document called a
"shipping paper." Shipping Papers must be kept within
immediate reach of the driver when a lap safety belt is in
place, or in a holder mounted on the inside of the
driver's door.
If the driver leaves the vehicle, these documents must
be left in the door holder or on the driver's seat.
