    Hi,
    Are there any tank companies that actually allow a passenger and actually have a big enough cab?

    I know mine does, but I'm local to Ohio. You might get a better (or more?) reply (ies?) if you post in the tank / bulk part of the forum.

    Best to ya!

    ps: Superior and QC come to mind; Dana maybe? (mostly O/O's though....)

    Most chemical tank companies do not allow passengers. Many of the chemical plants will only let the driver into the plant. Dana here allows passenger on one trip per quarter.

    Asphalt is more lenient, I guess. Can bring the wife, but no pets into Shelly plants.

    I was told the same by Rogers.

    Was thinking maybe food grade tanks. I've heard Indian rivr allows, but it looks like they're all flat tops.

    Cousin does tanker for Prime, they allow passengers. Oakley and Indian River allow passengers too. All three of these are food grade tanks.

    Indian River Transport.
    Spouse rider program.
    They used to want 12 mos. driving, but now their website has 24 mos. Maybe they bend the rules. I remember one time they hired a new cdl grad for local work.

    Not too many tanker outfits use condo's because of low overhead clearances at chemical plants and milk plants or other food grade plants.

    Dang, looks like I could barely stand up in those things. I guess I didn't need to waste my money getting a hazmat tank endorsement. Maybe someday for local work.
