    Canadian trailer built to be part of a B train, round and taller than most US tankers.

    Ontario CVOR makes the US DOT look like ##### cats.....if they said no defect, there wasn't any stinkin defects.....

    Ever see the film of the Mobil tanker with the training wheels on the skid pad?

    I think you need to.

    Not having to be there yesterday.
    My first load in a tanker was from Panama City Florida to Albuquerque NM, loaded Monday morning. Didn’t have to be there till Thursday evening!! I thought they were kidding.
    After years of pulling a refer coast to coast it was like a vacation!

    I had to stretch the truth when I went to flatbed about the length of the trailers I've pulled as I'd only pulled tankers.

    Flatbed lasted 6 months went back pulling tankers is the only way to ride.
