    They call these 660's as in 660 cu-ft. Schlumberger calls them ABT's. I have no idea what that stands for. I'm guessing the A stands for air and the T for trailer. The B might stand for bulk if I had to wager a guess

    I don't remember where I was, but as a fuel tanker driver was finishing up and getting ready to leave, he did the "knock" test to figure out what was left.....

    I asked him what he would do if it "knocked " back...... he said $&=_= his pants..... lol

    Hated those... but I'll be darned if I can remember why. :biggrin_25523:


    I think we had one in all of Canada. We handled all our bulk with normal cement trailers or the same type of vessel on body-jobs.

    Could be.

    A few years after I took that picture, the gal that was driving was a member on this forum, but I don't think she stuck around.
