    What other precautions do you need to take with a tanker without dividers to prevent sloshing besides;
    - taking off slower, be smooth at shifting and at the optimal rpm,
    - slowing down slower and smoother,
    - keeping more space in front of you and
    - going around turns slower?...

    I talked to a company today in regard to that type of transport and it made me curious if there was something else I was missing...

    pretty much covered it just be sure you catch the wave coming foward when upshifting ...Once you get it laid down it rides pretty good

    Watch out for quick changing traffic lights .

    just taping the brake can cause a rocking back + forth . it just takes abit to get used to it , no big deal really .
