    There's really no set amount because every truck is different and the the temp. of the product alone will change. At my company we left it up to the driver to weigh his or her truck. However, we would load 8800 gallons on our CA.,AZ, trucks (on average). On the super tankers again it depends on the truck. In NV we loaded 12450 gallons for a long time. It also changes with the truck set-up. A semi trailer can load up to 9000 gallons but then you have the hassles of getting into and out of the stations. A truck and trailer can hold up to 9000 gallons and can get into stations almost like a car. So, to be sure go and weight the truck yourself. Just make sure you have a full tank of fuel and your in the truck. Make a note of the temp. and conversion. If you're lucky the gasoline will be 60 degrees.
