Bulk Liquids and Liquid Surge
Hauling liquids in bulk is different from hauling any other kind of cargo. The load can move, shift, and surge inside the tank, and it rides high off the ground. This chapter explains liquid surge, the difference between baffled and smooth bore tanks, how much you can load based on expansion, weight, and legal limits, and why a tank vehicle's high center of gravity makes stability a constant concern.
Tank Vehicle Inspection
Tank vehicles have special inspection needs beyond a normal truck check. Because their cargo may be hazardous and their loads are heavy, leaks, worn parts, and failed equipment can be extremely dangerous. This chapter covers how to inspect a tank vehicle thoroughly, from leaks and covers to valves, hoses, tires, and emergency equipment.
Safe Tank Vehicle Driving
Driving a tank vehicle safely means constantly managing a high center of gravity and moving liquid. Rollovers and skids are the biggest dangers, and both come from driving too fast or making sudden moves. This chapter covers speed control in curves, braking and stopping distance, skid prevention and recovery, and the smooth driving habits that keep a tanker under control.
