So, driving tanker seems profitable, whats the catch?

Nah that a be a 2500 dollar a month truck note...I refuse to pay that much...that could be like a 5000 square foot house

 

While we're clearing things up... the woman in my profile pic is not my lady. she's a co-worker.

 

Ok.....I thought nothing of it...lol I thought it was you

 

Lmao.... uh no! Not me!

 

Who do you yank a tank for

 

Not a driver. In the transportation industry, but not trucks (yet).

 

o okay. ..im thinking somewhere in the next 5 years getting out of the truck and hiring a couple drivers....i just dont have enough sercurity to do it just yet

 

You have the same view in the mirrors provided you have them adjusted properly. Smaller? Don't kid yourself, tank trailers have the 2 axles right at the back of the trailer, which increases your trailer off track on turns.

 

Dont forget the slosh when you trying to back up lol

 

Milk transports do not have baffles, because they put the cleaner nozzles in the center lid hole, and blow acid front to rear. FDA will not allow any restriction, as it would be impossible to get clean.

I have pulled smooth bore, and also the 12 in. drop, baffled fertilizer tankers. Those 12 in. drops are great, as the ends are narrower than the middle low section, and so if the liquid moves, it has to not only roll up hill, but also compress itself. 25 ton will sit back there and ride almost like a baby, compared to a smooth bore.

I think the pay for tanker drivers just went down 20% with all the head swelling and chest beating.......
