    Those kind of aluminum tankers for oil/fuel aren't heavily built. Think of it as kind of the box van of tankers. While still stronger then a box van its not as strong as say a chemical tanker built to haul acid and be pressurized.

    RIP Driver

    Bad day to pull a tanker in IN. Bypassed a big backup going south on I65 just south of exit 16 (Memphis, IN) involving 2 trucks (one was said to be a tanker)
