    ISO-tainers (pretty much tanker shipping containers) when fully loaded, are really top heavy. I’ve seen non-driving hands on a frac job get them rocking really good when they’re at a 90 degree turn and trying to get them spotted on a job. They’re the least stable when Jack knifed that much because the fifth wheel rocks back and forth.

    You can do it that way, somehow though it was told me that it would cause a delay if I did it that way. Not sure how or why.

    My apologies…. Apparently i got it backwards.
    Regardless, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get on with a gas hauling company in your area.
    Loading racks are generally in populated areas though satellite racks are in weird places.
