    That’s a legitimate statement! I’ve pulled tanks for a decade and could never go back to van/reefer freight. However I do haul 90% non placarded petroleum products IE bulk oil to oil distributors. I do haul a little haz mat products but not to much.
     
    Feedman and RockinChair Thank this.

    You are wise to be cautious about curves. Them, along with soft ground and blown steer tires, are usually what causes a mixer to roll over.
