    Yanking a tank should be a generic term.

    Fuel haulers
    Milk haulers
    LNG/CNG/propane/butane
    Compressed gas tubes
    Cyrogenic
    general chemicals
    food grade
    Dry bulk
    other: ________ [I'm sure I missed sumthin'}

    Now add the hazards from toxic and toxic by inhallation, BUT flammable enough to fry your butt too...

    corrrosive, fuming acids where spilling a cup full would react with the atomspheric moisture to make a huge dense white cloud; to ones that are skin absorbtive and inhallation killers and corrosive too. - ended up wearing space helemts connected to breating air bottles slung under the tank belly...

    Each subset requires specific knowledge focused on the stuff that's rolling around back there...and, thankfully, OSHA and EPA have made in roads where the largest hazards undergo microspic inspection, now.

    Tanker is great work, cannot think of a single reason not to pull tanker trailers.
