Is there a lot of tight backing with Hazmat tankers?

lol

If you put as much effort and thought into learning to back as you seem to into how to avoid it you'll be a pro in no time.

It's part of the job, don't run from it.

 

That's a main thing I fing annoying is when the tandems are forward and the rear swings. Sometimes I'd like park without to much hassle like when getting in my 30 minute break.

 

I actually found it easier with my tandems sucked up. Yea theirs tail swing but as long as you rember that I found it easier. Takes less room to boot.

 

Completely agree with this

 

Tankers might be easier to back at the truck stop but some of the plants we go into are nothing but nightmarish.

 

Tanker trailers usually 45 or 48feet all together, so yeah backing is very rare BUT ot will be a shipper who will ask you to back inside a building to get loaded...
So yeah you have to know how to back up either way, its just will be more rarely practice then in dry van or reefer

 

yes there is because some of there chemical Plants have loading spots

 

I haul acids and it dosent pay anymore then the flour I haul. Lol

You should see some of the places I have to back 53' tankers into. Hahaha
