    They're as big as the trailer and I see them running up and down I-5 in Oregon sometimes. Oil? Water? Thanks! My Google-## is not strong enough to answer this question today

    You are mistaken, that's not the load, it's a Werner driver.

    Can you be more descriptive? Pictures perhaps?

    He is talking about the bladder bags on flat beds.

    The contain a smelly substance often used as a fertilizer, or they can be paint bladders.

    I often see bags containing a smelly fertilizer substance in the parking lot at truck stops.

    Y'all are certainly kind! Much appreciated. When I used to hitchhike everywhere, the best rides were always truckers. Friendly, comfortable, and none of ya ever tried any shady business.
