Food grade tanks do not have baffles(thermos), many things affect how the load moves inside the tank. Depending on what you are carrying. For reference use a drink bottle put it on it's side. Dip the top and bottom ends and you will understand. It can hit hard enough to move the truck

The biggest issue with food grade tankers is the shipper/reciever. Loooong waits, You usually won't touch a thing except for venting the tank lid, unless you have a weigher sampler license, and can catch up on your beauty sleep. Appt times usually don't mean squat unless you're late or unless they need the product asap. Good luck in your endevor and feel free to ask me any questions. Lots of changes in the rules of the road in the seven years I've been gone but I doubt the nature of food grade liquid business has.
I did local and regional farm pick up and delivery (raw milk) and driver trainer for ten years. Good job IMO.skoshi130 Thanks this. -
