This question is about tanker trucking companies.
What do tanker trucks carry?
Tanker trucks carry liquids and sometimes dry goods. Generally, these trucks carry liquids, but they can also carry solid substances such as grain or fertilizer that can be poured into a contained trailer.
Typically though, tanker trucks are responsible for hauling oil, chemicals, and even beverages like milk or water across the country.
These trucks come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each designed to carry different substances safely. Many gases, for example, can be liquified when cooled, so these are transported using a cryogenic trailer, while gases that are liquified under high amounts of pressure are transported in pressurized tankers.
Some tankers can even carry tubes of non-liquefied gas if neither of these methods works to liquefy it.
Because of the way liquids behave when they're moving and because many tanker trucks are hauling hazardous materials, tanker drivers have to have special certifications in addition to their CDLs.
