    Hello,

    I'm a writer. A character in my latest novel is a trucker and I want to make sure I get the details right. If anyone has an interest in answering a question or two, that would be great. If not, I understand.

    For starters, do truckers driving a tanker typically drive solo or in pairs?

    Thanks and my best to all of you.

    I love it, there are several "characters" on here, pop in on some of the EOBR discu ssions or CSA and you'll find lots of personality.

    A tanker carrying petrol going through Maryland. I don't know the typical routes, so any help there would be terrific. The key is that the guy has to be going through Maryland so I figured he'd be starting someplace south of that and hauling up to the New York or Boston area. But if there are any standard routes, that would be great info for me to have.

    Nah. No Fast and Furious. Just a suspense/thriller in which a trucker is one of numerous characters.
