Looking around for a Tri axle tanker, found a single compartment thats been re engineered, tagged for refined and an internal welded to the bottom. Very tempted, but cannot find anyone with experience with that for opinions. I assume it must be a pig on slippery hills and half loaded would hell ride??

Have it inspected by someone who knows tankers really well. Has it been crashed?
-
406 is the spec for a fuel hauler, 407 is the spec for a crude or chemical tanker.
Does this trailer have a vapor-recovery fitting & a Scully? -
my concern is the weight transfer going up some of the hills this rig will be on. It’ll be a Tri-Tri combo and corked with 1202 when loaded so its probably a non issue..
One moment, please... -

I've ran what I guess would be a tri-quad? Was an oil field tanker, double compartment baffles cut out to be legal for food grade. We didnt run legal weight though. Could get about 70,000-80,000lbs to dome out and gross around 120k. Illegal on weight/bridge by a mile but company didnt give a ####.
Was the most horrifically bad surging tanker I've ever pulled. We only ran it to a rail spur about 15 miles away but that rig was dangerous as ####. I ran it and few times and said no more. God forbid you pulled only 50-60k in it.
Not sure where you are loading at but I'm in the Wild West, no rack I've carded at allow top loading. Or loading without a vapor and scully. -
What’s a “scully”?

the far far west, private load racks. Where scully and recovery is not worth maintaining it’s functionality.
