When a truck and the person in charge of the truck or the person's agent have been on premises for the purpose of removing a carcass and before the truck is taken on a public highway or on other premises, the wheels of the truck and the shoes or boots of persons who have been on the premises must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with a disinfectant. Cleaning and disinfection of truck wheels and footwear must also be conducted before a truck leaves the premises of the rendering plant or collecting station. From May 1 to September 30, before the permanent cover is closed and the truck leaves the premises, sufficient insecticide to destroy all flies must be discharged into the truck body and cab.

Carcasses may not be removed from the truck except at the rendering plant of final disposal or at collecting stations. All carcasses must be unloaded within enclosures or a building provided for unloading.

A vehicle used for the transportation of carcasses or other rendering products may not be used for any other purpose until it is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Any unrenderable article or thing which may be transported with a carcass may be unloaded only at the rendering plant or collecting station and disposed of there by burning or burying, except metal containers which must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before leaving the rendering plant or collecting station.
