I am strongly considering getting in to liquid hazmat tanker OTR driving. I already have the tanker endorsement and the hazmat endorsement. I am curious as to what types of liquid hazmat are hauled across the country. I suspect that diesel and gasoline are typically hauled less than 200 miles because I think that there are almost always oil refineries within 200 miles of any location. I believe that crude oil is usually transported in pipelines. So I don't think that many trucks are hauling crude oil long distances from the drilling locations to oil refineries.
So what types of liquid hazmat are typically hauled by semi-trucks pulling liquid tankers on distances of, say, 500 miles or more?
What types of liquid hazmat are hauled cross-country?
