    They will probably clean it anyway. Its most likely a tank dedicated to one company who only want one product hauled in it.

    Latex is almost like epoxy. Once a latex tank, they try and only load latex.

    The thing with latex is a lot of labor involved in cleaning, They have to scrap the tanks clean,
    So like said most are dedicated to that product, as long as no latex is hanging from the sides, no scraping is needed to top load,

    Same with Resin. In fact some tankwashes don't even want to touch anything with resin. At my terminal our two biggest customers are latex and resin, so it can be a challenge to get reloads sometimes.

    My second load to caustic went to the mill in Jay today. It was a nice toasty 90F when i got there. Got all hooked up, went to turn on the air and nothing! Come to find out the regulator crapped out, so we ran some hoses from the train shed across the parking lot so I could get unloaded. I spent 2 hrs. there, instead of the usual 40 mins.
