    Just in front of the rear tandems, front axle is about where the product sits. All that space above the axles.... nadda. Empty shell.

    We got the big pneumatics at our company 2000-2600 cubic foot tanks with 4 or 5 hoppers, 3 or 4 axle 53'ers standing 13' tall. Our tankers are chemical tankers 5-7000 gallon and mostly 2 compartment double conical tanks, 4 axle and 53' over all lenght, and around 11' tall.

    A standard 307/407 insulated tanker like what QC has is considered a 40', bit has an overall length of 43'. I haul a lot of 331 tanks (propane)
    The older ones are 40' and the new ones we have are 45'

    I pull a 48ft smooth bore. Was food grade now I use it for DEF.

    I’m seeing more and more 53 ft fuel trucks lately.

    Out west we haul truck and trailers but I have driven the super tankers and they were 40' truck with a 10' drawbar and a 4 axle 30' trailer or close to. That's hauling gasoline to local stations at a little over 80' with about 105,000lbs on.
