    I never see them at dairies or any place I go so that's why I wonder, I barley see them at tank washes as well


    I asked a coworker and he told me that they haul chemicals, mostly lubricants and oils, 99% of it is Hazmat. I told him that I think he's wrong but he told me that he's been out here 40 years, and you just can't argue with people like that

    I assume its food-grade because they have the pumps at the end of the trailers like Oakley and Opies do.

    i'm just curious

    What? Tankers have other purposes than milk and gasoline? No way ....

    It is all food grade. As for where, I remember for sure New Jersey and Georgia and I think she said Wisconsin. I pretty much shut down after she said Jersey and then started to tell me about their training program.

    I'm surprised, they haul cheap freight and that stuff isn't very cheap

    Prime uses their tankers to haul the tears of all their failed lease drivers. They haul those tears to New Jersey where the anti-Christ stores them to fuel his dark army during the apocalypse.

    I use to see them at the R. Conley tank wash in Elma, NY all the time. Chocolate, different juices, all kinds of edible oils, sucrose and fructose. That's what they were washing out at the yard.

    100% food grade or otherwise non hazmat. I don't think I've ever seen a placarded prime tanker.
