<\/b>The use of liquid bulk tank trucking is on the rise. While tanks make up anywhere from 5 to 10% of the trucking industry, petroleum production is increasing domestically, making the liquid tank segment more successful.<\/p>\n

\"Tanker-Truck\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Transcourt: Oakville –<\/em> Government legislation, hazmat and cross-border concerns can have an impact on tank trailers; here are concerns to remember:<\/p>\n

Switch to dedicated carriers – <\/b>liquid tank trailers are a costly investment, so consider opting for contract carriers. They\u2019re affordable and suitable for the industry due to a shortage of qualified drivers.<\/p>\n

Spec trucks for fuel efficiency and corrosion prevention \u2013 <\/b>finding ways to reduce weight of your truck is key to fuel efficiency. Consider the DuraPlate AeroSkirt, which is perfect for tank trailers. It can yield a 7% improvement in fuel economy at highway speeds.<\/p>\n

You may also want to consider the makeup of the tanker trailer itself. A Lean Duplex 2 DOT weighs about 700 pounds less than typical variants.<\/p>\n

Driver Shortage \u2013 <\/b>driver shortage remains a constant issue in the trucking industry, especially with highly specialized tanker fleets.<\/p>\n

In order to operate a liquid tank trailer, drivers must apply for a Transportation Worker Identification Credential or TWIC card. However, that requires having a current tank truck endorsement and hazmat endorsement, but this is a costly process and cannot be applied for within the same day.<\/p>\n

Border Crossing<\/b> \u2013 the U.S. Custom and Border Protection agency has identified an issue in liquid tank trailers not being empty before crossing the border, thus requiring more regulation.<\/p>\n

Liquid tank trailers therefore need to be washed and cleaned prior to crossing the border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
