    not all tankers are pressurized. you really dont have to worry about that with a milk tanker. that being said it still can have its dangers. take a corner too fast with a smooth bore, your rolling it over.

    Same with flatbed, but not because of the surge. When I was back in flatbed training for the second time around they were talking about never turning beyond 90 degrees and I’m like eh why... well when I had a full load I almost found out why the hard way. Very tight space and I needed to turn around to back into a place... almost dumped an entire unsecured load of shingles and my trailer on her side. Way less stable than a van for sure.
