    I am a local artist in Las Vegas (focussing on photography).
    Currently I am planing a photoshoot and I am desperately looking for a shiny tanker truck that matches our theme (see photo of a similar truck below).

    The truck will be in the background in the photos (see inspiration attached below).
    Is there anybody out there who could make this possible (I have already contacted a few local gas/oil companies, but I so far nothing was successful)?

    How much are you willing to pay?
    See, these will be working trucks that will be making no money while you borrow one.
    Bills still need to be paid...

    I don't need/want to borrow one. I just need permission to shoot in front of it while the truck is parked (after work hours).

    Go around town, at the truck stops and the like.
    Problem is tankers tend to be local driven by daycabs. They work 12 hours, go to the yard, and another driver works 12 hours.

    Working tankers usually don't stay that shiny, Even polished aluminum will tarnish quickly, exterior wash soaps cut the life of any protectant on the surface. The example picture is a manufacturer's shot of a new vehicle and probably enhanced for ad purposes.

    I remember getting a sunburn polishing Matlack's centennial trailer, polished stainless steel with vinegar and water in a windex bottle.

    Two years after the centennial 1888 looked just like any other stainless wrapper in the fleet...once the shows and polishing stopped...

    we used to deliver water to photo shoots. I remember a red Ferrari on a blacktop airport apron. The spreading water made it look as if it was on a mirror. Got a swimming pool water guy around?

    You're not going to find a tanker as clean as the one in your link unless you catch it right after it leaves the factory it was made at lol
