A Disturbance in the Force: Explosives Transport Safety Severely Lacking Strong in the Force, safety must be—especially when the cargo is volatile. As one who values accountability and the sanctity of life, deeply troubled I am by what I have personally witnessed on Route 9 in West Chesterfield. On three separate occasions—March 27 and March 28, 2025—I observed a vehicle clearly placarded with EXPLOSIVES operating with reckless disregard for public safety. Traveling at speeds estimated to be 15 to 20 MPH over the posted 50 MPH speed limit, the driver demonstrated aggressive and impatient behavior, tailgating any vehicle in their path. It ended up behind a stopped school bus unloading children. The moment was chilling. The license plate is clearly visible, and the company should have no

Whoever drives this vehicle should not be on the road, cannot drive. Almost caused an accident with my baby in the backseat.

One of your pick-up trucks was driving erratically and using its high beams while our vehicle was driving almost 5 or more miles over the speed limit. They were tailgating our vehicle and also ran a stop sign, yikes

Blasted at a project, less than 100 feet from our property. Rep that came by a few weeks prior said we wouldn't even feel it and completely downplayed the severity of the blast. It was the worst shaking, vibration and cracking I have ever heard in our home. No warning given prior to blast. We requested Capital pay for a septic inspection, not all that expensive. Wouldn't step and do the right thing. Terrible company.

They blasted a cellar hole next to my home in Moultonborough, NH in the fall of 2018. When they blasted for the well trench they were blasting just 25' from the side of my home. A couple of small rocks flew and ripped a hole in one of my screens. The rocks were still lodged in between the screen and window. Fortunately no windows were broken. When I phoned Capital Rock about this they said "it was not us, it must have been the excavation company." So instead of doing the right thing and paying $30 to have the screen re-screened at Aubuchon up the street, they took the easy route denying any responsibility. Poor business practice!
