It's probably Uranium hexafluoride. The Nuclear Fuels division of GE has a facility in Wilmington, NC. Tri State Motor Transit (TSMT) carries most of this material. The UF6 is transported inside several nested containers. There is little or no danger to the public. Definitely not useful for a bomb and in no danger of exploding.
This is all just a guess on my part but I'll bet I'm pretty close.

Thanx for the data ... but what's it used for?
Would this be incoming or outgoing?
