    ...why would a woman not succeed? I would think a woman would be better, aren't women better drivers in general?

    and I would think that tankers would be inspected more especially when they are placarded

    Well, I said a woman can succeed, that was that absolutely part. Also said in my experience tankers don't get inspected more. Again key word being MY.

    If I said in a post that it's 30% then I misspoke. I believe the average to be in the 40 to 50% range. It's very hard to name most of the products as it's something I don't spend a lot of time studying. I just need to know the placard, if any, to put on and how you want me to unload it, pump or air. Some of the products that I can remember of the top of my head are things like acronal, emulsifiers, antifreeze, little bit of acid.
    A lot of products are from the company Nalco, and they usually just put numbers as the product name. As far as states expect anywhere but usually concentrated from Houston to Chicago and points east of that. I have been to all 48 though. With you running out of Houston you can really be running all over though, Houston is the best for that.
